To shine a little light on, and help us make our own sense of, time in a year that has gone by many names.

the magic hour NYC
The Magic Hour is a series, a salon, and a party, showcasing rising talent in the film, art + music world and the peers that inspire them. The premise is that a rising star in the film world curates the evening; screening a short of their own alongside films of their peers that inspire them.
We believe that inclusivity is not just crucial, but that it should be ubiquitous. We believe that diverse programming is as simple as putting artists of various backgrounds in charge of the curation and thusly the programming.

planet possible
I enrolled 29 artists to lend their talents in a collaborative effort to make a book full of inspiring drawings and quotes which was then gifted to public schools throughout Queens, Brooklyn, and the Bronx. I raised $1,730 and printed 500 copies via the fitch group - the goal was to promote the importance of education through art to schools that lack an emphasis on creativity. I presented planet possible at Public Schools; 771K's health fair for autistic students, PS 290's k-5th grade special education program, and archer elementary school.

We have a radical vision: IO believes that moving images should be appreciated the same way posters, prints, and photographs have been for decades; not just trapped in our phones and laptops, in our camera roll, or on Youtube. So, they created a new way to live with video. Their product is a permanently treated display - what is called a Video Print. No apps, no fussy configuration; just one video, looping forever. You are not buying a gadget, you are collecting a moving image.
