    There's a reason why Hollywood calls on him folks. Some of the dopest fights scenes you see lately are from this guy.

    When the subtitles began to fade away as the main character was no longer listening to the henchmen because he was so focused on moving forward blew my mind. That's high level storytelling. Awesome stuff 👏👏👏👏👏

    This was just unbelievable. From costume, to music, to incredible editing and story, not to even touch on the rich, beautiful, and vivid story telling in the choreography. This is such an incredible concept, amazing execution, and beautiful piece. Thank you for what you do and sharing it with us

I've just started doing this for UA LA because this is EXACTLY what I want to do. Well not exactly, I have my own style I'm aiming for.
