College Boy Jesse
My relationship with College Boy Jesse has grown across many kinds of work and many stages of life. I shot his engagement video, his wedding video and music videos, and have supported his music career alongside the ventures and activities we have worked on together. That history gives the collaboration a continuity that goes beyond a single production. There are the performances and projects people see, and the conversations and preparation that help bring them into being. This collection brings together some of those moments, from personal milestones to music and experiences created for an audience.
Personal milestones
Filming Jesse’s engagement and wedding meant being trusted with moments that mattered beyond a release or an event date. Those films sit alongside the professional work as part of the wider relationship we have built.
They also give this collection a different sense of time. A creative partnership can continue while the people within it enter new chapters. The camera becomes a way to preserve those chapters as well as communicate the next project.
Bringing the music to life
Our music-video work is another part of that relationship. It takes a song and builds a visual world around the artist: performance, story, movement and the details that hold the viewer’s attention.
The production work for “Stacy” brought those elements together through supermarket and spin-class scenes, with performance, dance and character interactions shaping the edit. It is one example of the thinking behind the finished image, and of the teamwork involved in turning a musical idea into something people can watch.
More than one kind of project
The collaboration also includes event support, podcast development and conversations about new ventures. The Soca Love Story 2025 recap is another record of work connecting music, people and a shared experience.
Supporting an artist’s career can involve different kinds of contribution at different times. Sometimes it is a camera or an edit. Sometimes it is helping an idea take shape, or working alongside a team to make the next activity happen.
A relationship that continues
Taken together, these moments tell a broader story than a list of video credits. They show a relationship moving between personal milestones, creative work and shared activities over time.
That is why Jesse belongs in this community section. The work matters, and so does the continuity of showing up across the different things we have built and documented together.
Shared moments
Space Jam: An evening becomes an ad
Jesse and I turned an evening before his event into a video ad. Space Jam was the theme of Soca Love Story 2025, his annual Carnival event. The promo is one example of how our collaboration moves from an idea into something ready to share.
Soca Love Story 2025
We also attended Soca Love Story and produced a recap in support of the event. Together, the promo and recap show two parts of the same collaboration: helping tell the story before the event, then capturing it as it happened.
Creating a musical template
Jesse and I created this musical template together. It adds another kind of project to the work we have shared over the years, alongside music videos, events and personal milestones.
Getting the team involved
We got the team to sing and take part in the Sabga challenge. It is another example of our work together, with the team joining in to create the finished piece.
