Passion Projects | Visual Experiments & Personal Storytelling

Documentary-Style Church Legacy Film

Created outside of client work, these short films and reels are driven by curiosity, inspiration, and a love of visual storytelling. Highlights include a California mini film composed of film-style photos and footage captured on a trip with my wife—crafted as a visual experiment for Instagram Reels and TikTok. Other work features spontaneous shoots around Chattanooga that explore light, movement, and mood, often edited to music that shapes pacing and emotion.
