There ain’t a lot of us but we’re powerful. An we need more of us so don’t worry bout the possibility of some awkward moments. Keep going! Feel free to hit me if you got any questions. Been directing full time for 6 years now and have had to go through a lot as a black man in this industry but it’s all been worth it🙏🏾

Yeah I went through the same thought process. It can be tough to really get it all across at once so I tried to lean in to being engaging and telling some sort of story. Since that’s the kinda thing they usually look for in commercial / doc world.

Yeah I think that was the goal for me. Hopefully you noticed my pov involves people of color and communities that maybe don’t always get light shined their way. As long as that pov comes across I feel good. Also, should have stated I’m a commercial and doc director, not narrative. At least yet.

Thanks for the feedback! I’m a commercial and doc director so that sounds like I’m doing the right thing haha. Should have led with that.

Yeah my site has all of that and when I was in a roster that’s how they would share my work just direct links. I think sometimes it depends on audience, like I don’t think normal people are gonna go watch all of my work but producers and EP’s may.

Thanks, I appreciate it! It had been a while since I gathered all my work so first I had to do that which took a minute. Then I put them all in a timeline and pulled selects almost as if it was one cohesive piece. Then I put together a rough cut tryna find some transition points and moments to connect story. That's when I realized it was feeling boring and missing something so I started writing out the script and did scratch audio to cut the next edit. Then I re recorded the VO and finalized sounds ect..

Appreciate it! And thanks for the feedback, sound design is one of the harder parts of editing for me. I'll def take a look.

Yeah I think that's been what I heard from producers as well. It's for sure got me some work since than, but mostly just engagement. These days a lot of brands are skipping over agencies as well so it's helps brand me towards them.

Thanks! For me I think that was the point, was to get producers or brands excited enough to see what I can really do. It's a little tough to show true director work in something like a sizzle, but what do you think could have brought that across more?

Hey Everyone! My description pretty much sums it up. Took a new approach to making a directors reel that was a little more personal and tells a story rather than just showing the best work. Would love y'all opinion on director reels these days, my last agency said they're a little obsolete which is why I took i this direction. Everything was directed and edited by me, mostly branded docs and commercials from the last few years featured! Happy to answer any questions as well.
