An unforgettable night at the Savannah Film Festival presenting the Outstanding Achievement in Directing Award to the brilliant Rian Johnson before the premiere of Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery. It was an honor to stand on that stage and celebrate a filmmaker whose storytelling reminds us that mystery can be both sharp and deeply human. Thank you to @aerabb @scaddotedu and @savfilmfest for trusting me with this moment.

had to see this place for myself

We did it. 62 shots. 9 scenes. 3 days. 3 locations. 1 story. 1 message. When I set out to direct Alone, I had a vision of how I wanted it told, and who I wanted to create it with—but nothing could have prepared me for this past weekend. To my first-class cast and crew, I dedicate the spirit of Nick. Not only for the money, blood, sweat, time, and tears poured into this project, but for the contagious energy that breathed life into his story—the energy essential to telling it truthfully. This isn’t the end. We have much more work to do. I invite you all to follow along as we craft Nick’s story into a timeless film, one that sheds light on what people all over the world experience every day: being alone. I am endlessly thankful for the support so far—it hasn’t gone unnoticed. I love you all. Let’s keep it going. – J Incredible BTS by @pictureschmitz #alonefilm #shortfilm #scad #scadfilm #indiefilm #film #savannahfilm

We ran it back @voguerunway 😉 Another incredible season of modeling for @scaddotedu @scadfashiondesign The collections that I had the honor of being apart of this year with this degree of creatives was truly special. I want to thank @maxsondesigns photos by @cameron.emory @oliver.riedinger and @byellaaugustsson photos by @99_samuel for trusting me to display their collections for the world to see. Makeup by @haleydanimua I have fallen even deeper in this form of self expression and truly believe this is just the beginning and cannot wait to continue to collaborate with future creatives. Much much love - J
