I had the incredible opportunity to direct and film a documentary celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Lamborghini Countach, one of the most iconic supercars in automotive history. To mark this monumental milestone, I was able to document a thrilling rally of Lamborghini Countachs cruising along the stunning Pacific Coast Highway. The rally was a part of the lead-up to Monterey Car Week, an annual event that draws automotive enthusiasts from all over the world. The drive along the coast was breathtaking, with the roaring engines of the Countachs echoing against the backdrop of the rugged coastline. It was an unforgettable experience, capturing the timeless beauty and power of these legendary cars, as well as the passion of the Lamborghini community. I used over 30 cameras to capture to entirety of this project.

I was the cinematographer for a music video featuring YoungBoy Never Broke Again and Birdman, which has garnered over 160 million views on YouTube. I engineered dynamic in-car footage by designing and operating custom camera rigs mounted on luxury vehicles; Bentley, Ferraris, and Maserati ensuring stable, cinematic motion while meticulously avoiding any damage to the high-end cars. I led a lean yet highly efficient film crew and coordinated with more than 100 extras, maintaining safety and precision throughout high-energy, fast-paced scenes.

Utilizing stabilization tools such as gimbals and Steadicam, along with expert camera operation, I achieved smooth, fluid movement that elevated the video’s visual storytelling and contributed to its polished aesthetic.

I had the privilege of directing and filming a special celebratory documentary for Bentley Motors, marking the monumental occasion of the company’s 100th anniversary since the production of its first-ever car. To commemorate a century of craftsmanship, innovation, and luxury, I documented an exclusive rally featuring a collection of original W.O. Bentleys — the earliest and most revered models to bear the Bentley name. The rally began in Los Angeles, where these classic vehicles, still in remarkable condition, set off on an unforgettable journey up the Pacific Coast Highway. The drive took us through some of the most scenic and picturesque stretches of the coast, eventually arriving at Monterey Car Week, one of the most prestigious automotive events in the world. Throughout the journey, I had the opportunity to capture the spirit of the rally, showcasing the timeless beauty and performance of these historic cars, while also highlighting the passion of their owners. It was an extraordinary experience, witnessing firsthand the lasting legacy of Bentley and the unique connection between the brand and its devoted community.

Filmed a narrative-driven series beginning at the New Orleans Museum of Art (NOMA), capturing a scenic drive in a black Escalade to Johnny Sánchez, culminating in a dynamic arrival scene being greeted by Aarón Sánchez. I then captured scenes in the kitchen prior to filming an entire cooking show he hosted from multiple moving cameras.
