Take a look at the incredible work of Beza Threads and Hope for Children Ethiopia, two organizations that helps rescue boys from sweatshops and girls from forced prostitution in Ethiopia.
I had an amazing time co-directing and co-shooting this award-winning web spot for Northwest Iowa Development with Paul David Benedict in which we contrasted the dreadful lives of those in the big city with those of northwest Iowa residents, who are showered with free cookies every day. I also wrote the soundtrack for this and the followup ads.
It was great fun to work with MAIDS again on this music video for their song, “Takes a Little Magic” which I shot with Joey Leaming. Jami Milne and Sarah Ivanovich coordinated a beautiful ballet dance to the song, which we filmed in black and white at Noce in Des Moines.
My brother Wes and I wrote, shot, directed, and edited this semi-comical video review of Everlane’s Oxford button-down shirt for our ethically made clothing site, BetterThread.
