Start Your Impossible - Toyota Spec Ad

A project rooted in self-reflection, self-discovery, and the knowledge gained from life experiences, meant to inspire all of us to chase our dreams. It is a project partly inspired by the Toyota ad campaign of the same name, which resonated with me and my desire to use my creative voice to touch the lives of those around me.

This self-funded spec project took place during my downtime in 2020 due to the ongoing global pandemic. During that time, the limiting circumstances allowed me to fully showcase the interdisciplinary skill set that enables me to navigate the motion film and still photography disciplines. This project also marks the first time I include my Latino heritage in one of my projects, something I'm very proud of.
