Storytelling: Why I Am Creating Again
After a long creative rut, I have decided to start creating again. I hope that you will follow along with me on my journey. This video isn't perfect, but I am not worried so much about the technical stuff, that will come as time goes.

Garth Custom Suits: A Grandson's Story
I do not own the rights to the music included in this film, but this film is not intended for advertising, but rather just is to show the capabilities of the student for the BYU film program. I was able to team up with Garth Custom to make this touching short film about a grandpa and a grandson and how important their relationship is in the grandson's crucial transitioning years of becoming a man. I used it to apply to BYU's media arts program and it was a key factor to me getting into the program. Huge thanks to Garth Peay for producing this film. See his custom, affordable suits by clicking this link: https://www.garthcustom.com/ Also thank you to our actress Kaitlyn Snow who made this film possible, and of course a huge thanks to grandpa, Kit Clawson.
