Velvet Promotional Preshow
about You (feat. Jayden)
Shot entirely on a Sony Handycam, “about You” is a music video to the demo for a song I wrote. I shot the video in August of 2023, and edited it in January of 2023. The idea was to encapsulate the melancholy feeling of seeing my cousin - how we are the best of friends and have the most fun together, but because we live so far from each other, we have grown used to missing each other all the time. It’s saying “I’m only me when I’m with you” while also acknowledging that I will miss you even when you are in front of me.
Jayden&Sam
no romance but a love story all the same.
-
Jayden&Sam is a recap of a weekend I spent with my best friend, Jayden. It tells the story of a love that runs so much deeper than anything either of us has ever experienced in a platonic sense. It was directed and edited by myself, and it is some of my favourite sound-mixing work.
Camp 2019
Filmed in 2019, this video summarizes my summer at Camp Couchiching. While I have done many projects since this one, it is one that never fails to bring tears to my eyes. It is a tribute to where I grew up.
thank you for being here
thank you for being here tells the true story of John Candeloro, and what he experienced immigrating from Italy to Canada in his early 20s. It is heartfelt and moving, and shines a light on a different kind of Canada than the one we are used to seeing portrayed in the media.
ABC Gum Commercial.
While ABC is a fake gum company, the commercial I made is very real. I conceptualized, cast, directed, shot and edited this commercial with the help of one of my high school mates.
A.
This is a short film about a woman who is fed up with her husband. It is self-written, directed, and edited. I also won a GARA Award for the sound design I did for it.
The Box.
For this project, I was responsible for the lighting, for which I won a GARA Award. I also had a hand in some of the effects and camerawork.
