2023
Shot during peak winter on the North Shore with the Vans Surf Team, this film was built from unused Triple Crown footage and reimagined as a tribute to the privilege of being welcomed there. I directed the story, interviews, score, and branding, shaping a piece that both celebrates the North Shore and highlights the diversity of the Vans Surf Team.
The Film:
Branding
The film’s title cards and palette were inspired by the North Shore itself—sun-bleached posters with faded colors and weathered ink, echoing years of salt, sun, and exposure.
