A Little Auburn in Us All

Our Emmy Award-winning brand film, A Little Auburn in Us All, served as the cornerstone of the 2024 National Signing Day campaign. As the writer and director, I led the creative vision from concept through production, utilizing a range of techniques—from staging a 7-on-7 football game with 12 young athletes to leveraging green-screen compositing that placed our athletes inside a packed stadium environment.
