Feeling overwhelmed shouldn't be the norm, but it's a feeling anyone can relate to. When the world gets noisy, Sony's WH-1000XM4 noise-canceling headphones aren't just a piece of tech, they're a device for creating an environment, a moment of peace and serenity no matter where you are or what may be happening around you. Art of Visuals teamed up with Sony to capture that moment. This moment is for you.

The film follows three creators I cast because they fit the story naturally: Audrie Storme, Karl Shakur, and Eric Rubens. Each one moves through their own version of a chaotic day, overwhelmed, anxious, frustrated, until the headphones go on. Eric finds his moment alone on a sailboat in the middle of the ocean at sunset. Audrie finds hers at home, surrounded by her music and her art. Karl escapes the city to a rooftop over downtown LA and dances the tension out.

As the creative director on this project, I helped shape the story, wrote the briefs, directed the stills, and made sure everything on set matched Sony's brand guides. I also worked closely with the production team through post, giving feedback on edits and prepping files for delivery.
