Guerilla Marketing & Projections
As part of a small team, I traveled to Helsinki, Finland, for the infamous Trump-Putin presidential summit where along with some expert projectionists we guerilla broadcast LGBTQ+ messaging and HRC branding onto the presidential palace. Our director of comms had picked an amazing spot in view of all the live TV networks, and I livestreamed…

“Hillary Clinton’s Rousing, Inspiring Tribute to Edie Windsor”
The directive was to clip Hillary Clinton’s speech at Edie Windsor’s funeral, which the Human Rights Campaign had a big hand in organizing, for social media. I edited the piece with music and broll, making a rousing homage. While it took a few additional hours, the video was shared thousands of times and earned millions…

The SVP comms liked it and in a matter of hours we posted this video across all our…

\”Equal\”
The Hillary Clinton 2016 campaign asked me to create a video for social media that would release the day of the Supreme Court decision in favor of marriage equality in 2015. With zero budget, I came up with the idea of combining Hillary’s speeches and emotional video I had discovered online of actual LGBTQ+ marriages…

\”We Need You\”
I was assigned to capture President Bill Clinton’s remarks after a debate in New Hampshire as part of the Hillary Clinton 2016 campaign. The narrative at the time was that Hillary had lost young voters to Bernie Sanders. I discovered a bunch of enthusiastic, young Hillary supporters chanting outside the debate, filmed them, and combined…
