Project Overview
Directed and shot a multi-artist gospel hip-hop music video that moves from personal struggle to collective celebration. Each artist was filmed separately across indoor and outdoor locations, using intentional coverage to create flexibility in the edit. The final chorus brings everyone together, shifting the tone into energy and joy, reinforced by archival wedding footage that serves as a symbolic payoff to the journey.
