Camera operation and editing for the Canadian Premier during 2020's Island Games season; a 43-day stint in isolation in Charlottetown, PEI. 8 teams, 6 weeks, 1 CPL Champion.
There, I aided in the capture, post-production and digital/broadcast delivery of:
•40+ Circle K Skill Zone promotional spots
•7 docu-series vignettes – including creative direction of the league's Black Lives Matter content
•A 48-minute feature documentary
•A 30-minute CPL award show and behind-the-scenes photography.

As the only black creative at The Island Games, I was entrusted with shaping the coverage and messaging from the CPL, as the world looked to organizations to comment on ongoing social justice issues, including anti-black racism.
Ahead of the Island Games, I was tasked with capturing promotional imagery of each clubs' fans to promote the CPL's 'Collective' – a membership scheme designed to engage fans who were forced to watch their clubs play away from home for an entire season during the peak of COVID lockdowns.
