My 2026 Demo Reel. Happy 51st birthday to my dad. This one’s for you. Dropping my 2026 Reel today only feels right. I wanted to honor my hero for everything that he’s done for me. I am who I am because of him, and everything I create is built off the impact my dad had on me. There’s not a day where I don’t think about him or wonder what it would be like if he was here. We all miss your ability to make others laugh, your heart, and the care you have for all around you. Heading into year 7 of creating is an exciting new opportunity that I cannot wait to begin. Looking back at where I started compared to where I am now makes me realize how much this journey has shaped me, and I’m more excited than ever to keep pushing, learning, and leveling up my work. “Wait” by M83 was a song I remember my dad playing for me often growing up, so I only thought it was fitting to include in a video for his birthday. As my grandpa always says, “Hug someone you love today; life is short.”
