The Beat was born out of my love for telling artists’ stories. This used to express itself in the world of publishing, where I primarily shared long-form interviews in print and online (The Great Discontent). Challenging myself again as a storyteller, and this time as a filmmaker, felt like coming back to a part of me I’ve missed. It also allowed me to play with the product I helped to build and reconnected me to the reason for it all: The Artists.
I directed, produced, shot, and edited The Beat.
