One of the first projects I was proud of in grad school wasn't remotely advertising related.
We were asked to simply make a video visualizing a poem, but I saw it as an opportunity to pour all of my love of 1940s Film Noir into a single execution. Luckily, my project partner (and star actor) Joe Kuhns absolutely indulged me.
This is our overly-stylized take on Robert Frost's poem "Aquainted with the Night."
