I was given a few hours of archival footage, a few photographs, and over 60 PDF’s of handwritten letters and was tasked with creating 2 mission trailers and 15 social media shorts for this project.

I really enjoyed the process of sifting through all of the archival elements and finding the story. It was a rigorous process to craft a compelling narrative while ensuring I was being faithful to the reality of the situation. I laid all of the letters out and read through them multiple times, highlighting and sorting them by levels of interest and topic. I also watched through the archival footage and cut it down, shaping it into various different narratives. I think the project would not have the same impact and rawness without the physical nature of so many of the assets.

By the grace of God the final videos turned out great. This project was truly a blessing to be a part of.

This displays skill in creative direction, editing, writing, working with archival footage, and sound design.
