HBO had asked that we create a highlight reel to promote J. Cole’s documentary “For Your Eyez Only,” which featured Cole’s music alongside stories of strength and perseverance from black voices in the south. To do this, I created a custom, hand-drawn map that showed the documentary’s progress through the country whose style was reminiscent of the vibrant and evocative murals seen in the communities featured in the documentary. The video has currently been nominated as a finalist for the 2018 Cynopsis Short Form Video Festival.
