Tall Enough (90 Second Cut-Down)
In this day-in-the-life piece, a young, interracial couple explore their relationship on a quiet Saturday in Brooklyn.
"TALL ENOUGH was inspired by a photograph I found. When I got the call that Bloomingdales was interested in having me on the project, I knew right away I wanted to do something that was more or less conceptual; taking a random image and building a film around it seemed like the right path to follow. That's the beauty of doing something like this, there was no prompt save creating something and yet the infrastructure was never in doubt. For a 'Young Indie' filmmaker in a country where there are little to no government grants or subsidies in narrative filmmaking, it's a rare opportunity."
