Finding Her

I wanted to go above and beyond when I proposed to my partner (now fiancé). Going to the movies was something that brought us together really early on, so I figured a short film played in a private theater would be the perfect way to ask her to marry me.

​

I was grateful to have the input of my friend and colleague, Darrel Harrison, as I conceptualized, scripted, and storyboarded my idea. For roughly two months, with Darrel acting as my videographer, we shot in various locations—with the help of other friends as supporting actors.

​

While on set, I directed the shots and collaborated with Darrel on the content we captured. Back in the "studio" (aka: hunched over our laptops in coffee shops) we both edited it to its final state.

​

You'll see the main part of the video below. The ending was timed out perfectly as I popped the question. In our private viewing, what followed was a compilation of sweet memories as well as funny bloopers from production as the cherry on top of an exciting idea come to life. Enjoy!
