“Vans came to me with a proposal to create a short film that embodied the essence of their brand.  The creative exploration and freedom they allowed me was unlike anything I had ever experienced.  Pure trust, pure faith, in my abilities as a story-teller / director and as a friend. In creating this piece, it was profound to realize the success of their company, at its core, is based on a similar model they share with everyone they work with.  To feel part of a brand, part of a family, part of an authentic creative expression, truly moved me to my core.”
