When you combine exciting innovation with the power to transform the world and save lives, along with fascinating and super intelligent individuals, you just let the story tell itself. So, when the folks at the newly formed Insitute for Protein Innovation reached out and explained what they were doing and asked if I would be interested in helping tell their story, I wasted no time and dove right in.

For the second year in a row I have been hired by Roxbury based nonprofit, the BASE, to create their annual fundraiser gala celebration video. This year we decided to film a few events along the way to capture b-roll.

Last week I had the pleasure of heading out to a small park in Boston's Dorchester neighborhood to photograph the Shooting Touch G3 annual free basketball camp for girls. The G3 camp partners with female police officers in Boston for 1 week of nonstop basketball skills, drills and mentorship.

Boston based nonprofit, the BASE, recently commissioned me to direct and produce a film about their program. I was given almost full creative control with the mission of telling a great story in a cinematic way. Luckily, a great story is not hard to tell when they are real and happening constantly around an organization like the BASE.

Back in June, I was lucky enough to partner with a Boston-based nonprofit, Shooting Touch, to travel to Rwanda and document the participants in their "Basketball Health Corps" initiative. They use the sport of basketball and their partnerships with health administrators to teach children valuable skills and preventative treatments when it comes to HIV/AIDS, malaria, and daily health.
