For two seasons and counting, Dolby partnered with the Ghetto Film School to fund and support a short film competition titled Finish The Script.

Winners of the grant were given funding and support from Dolby to develop and finish their films in Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. As part of the core team, I helped advise the young filmmakers, and created a broad content plan that documented their creative process and promoted the initiative. I conceptualized, directed, produced, and edited mini-documentaries about each filmmaker to serve as a companion piece to each short film – with the goal of building a series with broad appeal for future placement on a streaming service.

I also creatively directed, shot, edited and animated the marketing assets used to promote the series and oversaw the creation of the motion graphic elements that played alongside the documentaries and short films during the theatrical premiere at the Academy Museum in Los Angeles.
