A young musician struggles to find her voice. She is surrounded, on all sides, by crowds of people mindlessly absorbed by their own tasks. It all amounts to a library of noise, but with patience and perseverance, not only does she find the strength to play her song, but in time, her voice inspires others to locate their own.

​
Above the Noise is one of the few projects where I was involved completely from the start through to completion. Deciding who I wanted to develop a pitch with, auditioning music artists, determining our unique selling point, winning over the band, problem-solving as a crew, creating a rough cut, and then reimagining the idea in post when our initial vision didn't quite pan out. My recipe for success for this project was laying a strong foundation, being prepared, and being open to change when things didn't go as planned.
