What are you working on that no one knows about yet?
In 2021 I filmed several music videos in Miami and Las Vegas - one of them that I'm most proud and excited for is called LIFELINE which will showcase people dealing with life's issues (depression, suicide, human trafficking, drug/alcohol addictions) and end with a list of resources for those who are seeking help. The video is directed by multi-award-winning Russian cinematographer Dmitry Zhitov and the music is produced by Israeli DJ Allouche with an undecided release date.
