My latest endeavor, Go Fund Yourself, is an innovative show that blends crowdfunding with the excitement of Shark Tank. In this role, I produced, directed, and edited the show while overseeing all technical aspects, including procuring equipment and constructing a state-of-the-art studio equipped with Sony robotic cameras and Blackmagic infrastructure.
In the American South, during the era of Race Slavery, the drinking gourd symbolized a means to find north and a path to freedom. The drinking gourd song, sung in the fields, cleverly disguised its true meaning: "directions to freedom." At Daughter of the Stars Theater and Cultural Center, we see this as a profound example of finding your guiding star—a beacon that leads to freedom, new hope, and a new life.
In my role, I oversaw and executed all aspects of this video, from technical and creative editing to creating graphics, producing voiceovers, and refining the script.
Eden's Harvest, an innovative startup beer company, is one of the over 30 segments I produced and created for Go Fund Yourself. This segment showcases the show's opening and provides a delightful preview of what viewers can expect.
From the cultural center perspective, we have a YouTube series called A Closer Look: The Shenandoah Valley where we explore the history, culture, and music of the Shenandoah Valley. On this channel, we feature relevant, interesting, and engaging content for an audience of history enthusiasts and the like. We aspire to connect with this audience through our YouTube content and social media networks and encourage interactive discourse where everyone can share ideas and suggest topics for the series.
I create and manage all of the social networks for this business including the website, FaceBook, Instagram, YouTube and LinkedIn.

This video wads shot for Christmas Eve 2021 service with drone, dolly, handheld, and gimble iPhone in the chapel. I produced and shot with 3 other talented shooters and edited the project. The audio was recorded and mixed separately.
