OVERTIME is an original docuseries I directed and co-produced that spotlights DMV-based artists working day jobs or studying full-time while building creative careers. The series was designed to explore the emotional and logistical reality of making art under pressure, and to elevate local talent before they hit the mainstream. One featured artist, singer-songwriter Alex Vaughn, would go on to sign with Love Renaissance (LVRN).

Shot in artists’ homes and workspaces, each episode captured raw interviews, performance footage, and daily life, grounded in music, color, and place. The aesthetic leaned toward lo-fi intimacy and sonic texture, letting each artist’s voice lead the visual rhythm.

To launch the project, I developed and produced a live screening and concert event at the John F. Kennedy Center’s REACH campus, featuring all four films, artist performances, and a creative showcase for students and emerging artists. OVERTIME was built not just as a series, but as a platform.
