Upon returning, I transitioned into a rigorous post-production phase, editing the DSLR footage and 35mm film into a cohesive narrative for public exhibition. This work culminated in a 2022 artist talk and showing in Brooklyn, where the documentary served as a cinematic backdrop to an intimate discussion on my firsthand experiences. The hybrid approach of using a three-camera DSLR setup alongside a Contax T2 showcased my ability to blend modern production with the timeless, authentic texture of 35mm film. For a Creative Director, this project proves I can take a raw concept from a high-risk environment and refine it into a polished, exhibition-ready piece of art. Ultimately, this "after hours" endeavor solidified my reputation as a storyteller who finds beauty in the overlooked, proving my creative drive never stops when I leave the office.
