Our Mother

My creative partner and I developed this idea for a pitch we were working on at the time. We did not win the business, but still had heart for the idea. We enlisted our friend and fabulous director, Justin Leyba, to help bring the idea to life. We organized this project on our own, shooting it at a wonderful house on Staten Island. We worked closely with Justin on the editing process and enlisted some help from friends for sound, color and visual effects. We released the film on Earth Day.
