Description

This editorial video project created for the New York Times titled Independence - Jordan weaves together a dynamic series of visual vignettes, portraits, and archival imagery. The piece opens with minimalist typographic layouts transitioning into atmospheric scenes featuring Black men playing musical instruments, reading, and reflecting in warmly lit interiors and moody outdoor settings. Interspersed throughout are historical photographs, cultural references, and article snippets that explore identity, history, and narrative storytelling. The rhythmic editing and cinematic framing blend personal portraits with journalistic artifacts, supported by sound design from Wave Studios NY and agency coordination by Droga5 New York.
