I was hired directly by the client, Discover LA, apart from Mistress’ creative and apart from the production of the “Everyone Is Welcome” film, to shoot / edit additional content for Discover LA’s social Instagram and Twitter feeds.

In these social films you will find my establishing wide shot coverage, close up and medium participant reactions and planes landing b-roll mixed with multiple crane angles from the Reyna Pictures x M SS NG P ECES production “Everyone Is Welcome” (Directors: Josh Nussbaum + Yehuda Duenyas).


Coming off the heels of President Trump's proposed travel ban, the travel industry was at a standstill. To ensure the world knew Los Angeles was the welcoming place it's always been; Discover LA and Mistress, with the help of hundreds of Angelenos, created a human powered billboard visible to incoming planes touching down at LAX. There was a simple and clear message to share with the world and that was "Everyone is Welcome."
