One of the top jewelry chains in the world, REEDS Jewelers and director/producer, Alex Hoelscher of Wallaby Media, brought me on to collaborate and produce three seasonal commercials (Valentine’s, Wedding, and Holiday).

Our director, Alex Hoelscher, wanted the REEDS Valentine’s spot to showcase something different rather than the regular, run of the mill Valentine’s Day ads.
Upon finding the perfect location, we traveled to Heceta Head Lighthouse in Florence, Oregon. For 2 days, our cast and crew endured cold temperatures and heavy rainfall. But we prevailed day in and day out, delivering a beautiful, one of a kind product.

Surf Tech Av was founded by Benjamin Schmidt and Peyton McFarland in 2023. Their objective is to provide their clientele with outstanding, individualized service, and they required videos showcasing their expertise in the fields of technology and construction.

It was a pleasure to assist them in the marketing of their company through the production of these highlight videos.

Backspin Social is Wilmington’s largest Indoor Golf facility. In addition to an elegant lounge and full bar, they offer 4 extra large, professional-grade golf simulators that can be used for focused practice, exploring world-class golf courses, or just playing games with friends.

As an avid golfer myself, I had a blast creating these highlight videos for Backspin and hope to see you out there!

For the Holiday spot, REEDS Jewelers and director Alex Hoelscher wanted to focus on family. In doing so, we follow three separate families as they go about decorating the tree, lining it with gifts & enjoying their time together during the holiday season.

We were fortunate to find a house that allowed us to shoot every family in one location. Our production designer, Tripp Allen & set decorator, Sarah Molina did an amazing job creating “Christmas” in September and designing such a warm, lived in atmosphere for each family.
