Petro Canada, Caremakers: Lighten The Load

Commercial — Film & Director, 2023

At times the weight of caring is too much for any one person to bear without help. Yet caring is one of the most loving things anyone can do. This piece is about creating a tangible feeling that translates the weight of caring. The emotional moment of relief I or anyone would have if the load was lightened.
