As the industry keeps shifting, this year has really been about saying yes to every opportunity that feels meaningful.

It’s only May, and I’ve been lucky enough to spend the past few months making a feature film I’m genuinely proud of, shooting commercials across Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York, attending the festival premiere for a feature film we shot in Cape Cod, wrapping the final sound mix on a short film, completing the draft for a new script, winning Vertical of the Year for a micro-drama, and making a couple music videos alongside some wildly talented creatives.

Still learning, still growing, still grateful.

It’s been an amazing ride getting to produce Scott “Kid Cudi’” Mescudi’s directorial debut. We built an amazing team both in front of the camera and behind and were able to film a feature actually in Los Angeles, which is kind of rare these days. It was incredible being able to do it with not only the best producing team but also good friends @antbaldino and @markwebber . We made something special together.

2025 was a year of saying yes. Yes to big swings, small chances, and everything in between. It turned into the busiest year yet. Twenty-four commercials, two produced films in post, some great pitch meetings, and directing a new project alongside some truly amazing people.. The year took me from LA to San Francisco, Florida, New Mexico, Denver, France, Amsterdam, and Germany. Above all, I’m ending the year with healthy, loving friends and family. Onwards and upwards.

View Instagram Stories in Secret

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
