Watch Now : Lost in Paradise — The Road Trip from (1978).

This is not just a song. It is also a film. The track was already in production when a box of Super 8 reels surfaced in an attic, and something shifted, the footage didn't illustrate the music, and the music didn't score the footage.

They found each other. What you are about to hear and see exists as one thing, not two

The Making Of

The Film

Somewhere in a box, in an attic, sat 30 minutes of Super 8 rushes, my parents on a road trip through Arizona, Nevada, and California in 1978.

I had a vague memory of seeing the footage as a child, maybe six or seven years old. Then nearly four decades passed.

Sound & Vision — Creative Direction, Brand Strategy & Design

I work with agencies, brands and creatives who need an outside brain: a freelance creative director and brand strategy consultant who thinks across disciplines instead of staying in a lane. You bring a brief or a blank page; I bring the angle, the look, the sound, the words and the sales angles that make it land. No template work, no recycled decks. 15 years building brands, a life in music production, and a foot in both worlds the whole time.

" Turning something from an idea into a reality can make it seem smaller. It changes from unearthly to earthly.
The imagination has no limits. The physical world does. The work exists in both. "
