A LULLABY
Director / Editor
music video

This music video follows a pregnant teen whose world is expanding—realizing the life around and within her. She gains a new appreciation for life, growth, and the power of her body as she relinquishes her dreams of being a dancer and accepts her role as mother.

Freddy Hall

Freddy is an incredible Brooklyn musician that I've had the pleasure of knowing since our high school days back in Virginia. I've long been a fan of his so working on this video with him was a true honor.

This song, from his album The Wander Years, is already incredibly powerful, so the challenge became trying to enhance the story without forcing the emotion too quickly. Instead, we grow with her as her worldview blooms.

"The thousand sighs, the weeps, the sounds that never go..."

Ellenore Scott

You may recognize Ellenore Scott from her run on So You Think You Can Dance. Well, she certainly can.

We were incredibly lucky to have Ellenore choreograph the dance for this video and even improvise at times with her dancers Timmy Wasserman and Jeffrey Gugliotti.
