What if we had a chance to save the largest undeveloped greenspacce inside the perimeter? What positive change could it bring about for our community now? What lasting impact would that have on future generations? This historic land has a story worth telling. This urban oasis is worthy of restoration.
Fans, friends, and family filmed themselves singing and dancing along to The Currys' single "If I Find It" from the band's 2016 album West of Here. The band edited all the clips together, and this cyclone of silly energy is the final result. Hope you enjoy!

We went to document the work in progress of sculptor Patrick Dougherty, who was creating one of his monumental sculptures at the Atlanta Botanical Garden in Gainesville. Our filmmaker, Felipe Barral, captured Dougherty and his assistant working on the Woven Whimsy to bring you a behind-the-scenes look at how his work is made. After the work of art was completed, Felipe returned to the garden to film the piece and people interacting with it. The large-scale site-specific installation will be at this location for two years, and eventually it’ll broke down overtime.

Most of these plastic six-pack rings end up in our oceans and pose a serious threat to wildlife. Together with Saltwater Brewery, a small craft beer brand in Florida whose primary target are surfers fishermen and people who love the sea, we decided to tackle the issue head on and make a statement for the whole beer industry to follow. We ideated, designed, prototyped and manufactured Edible Six Pack Rings. A six-pack packaging design that instead of killing animals, feeds them.
