A standout project for the US Air Force, done through the Austin-based agency GSD&M — the fourth project in an ongoing relationship we'd built with them. This video series highlighted the opportunities for diverse candidates to become pilots in the Air Force, featuring a range of pilots including 2nd Lt. Madison Marsh, who made history as the first active-duty service member to be crowned Miss America, in January 2024.

We shot and finished the project entirely at kaboom. I was on set and post-produced the piece, directed and edited by Noah Kistler, who directed and edited most of the projects he worked on for us. The agency and client were thrilled with the final edit — genuinely one of my favorite pieces of work.

Unfortunately, the video was ultimately shelved and never released, following a shift in the Air Force's priorities around diversity-focused content.
