Summerland Commercials

My company nice & easy films is a PDX-based production company with a focus on brand stories, commercials, and documentaries. As part of a community of talented local creatives, we’re able to adapt and scale to any size project. As the director, I conceptualized, storyboarded, and pitched these ideas to Summerland. With my business partner Sean Khuon-Paige, we created two commercials for Summerland that showed their products in action through the use of different POV techniques.
