Sometimes the best stories should speak for themselves, and that’s the beauty of docustyle spots. As someone who’s deeply inspired by human connection, I love sitting down with real people and letting their stories unfold naturally. Being an interviewer allows me to tap into that authenticity, capturing genuine moments that feel both personal and powerful. It’s about observing the world as it is and finding the extraordinary in the everyday. These spots are honest, heartfelt, and rooted in real experiences, letting the power of the story shine through. This is a collection of some of my favorite docustyle projects.
SEGA & ATLUS | RELOADED: THE VOICES OF PERSONA 3
DIRECTOR’S NOTES:
We had the pleasure of conducting interviews with Sega about the new voice cast for Persona 3 at PCB Studios, one of the most iconic VO studios in the industry. PCB has been the home to countless great games, including The Last of Us, Metal Gear Solid V, and Resident Evil. It was an incredible experience to capture the energy and passion of the voice actors in such a legendary space, where so much gaming history has been made. The talent behind Persona 3 really brought the characters to life, and being part of that storytelling process was something special.

SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI V: VENGEANCE x SLIPKNOT
DIRECTOR’S NOTES:
Interviewing Slipknot for the project was an unforgettable experience, blending metal and gaming in the coolest way. We explored their creative process and showcased some incredible masks made by Slipknot’s own mask maker—designed specifically for characters from the SMT5 game. The craftsmanship was top-notch, and the masks brought an intense, otherworldly vibe to the interviews. It was a fun crossover of metal and gaming, with the energy of the band and the artistry of the masks coming together to create something truly unique.

BP COMMITMENT
DIRECTOR’S NOTES:
Traveling across the country for BP Oil was an intense and memorable experience. With a small crew of 4-5, we journeyed from Chicago to Ohio, South Carolina, and Alaska, capturing BP’s economic impact in each region. Along the way, we shot in some of America’s most beautiful places, which added a stunning backdrop to the project. Despite the challenges of working in different locations and navigating various dynamics, we brought these stories to life for social media, blending the natural beauty of the regions with BP’s narrative.
