Candy Pop Life

When TikTok sensation Daniella Shaba (5M followers) launches a freeze-dried candy business, she must contend with her cannabis-king brother who insists on enforcing their Chaldean tradition of being head of household and demanding respect - even as he dates employees at the dispensary he owns.

Director Statement

A bit about myself, I got my start working on films, but have always made music videos, commercials, corporate, and documentaries as well. I studied Theater at San Diego State University where I obtained my Bachelor’s degree, and have dabbed in cinematography and acting while in school. I have decided to call Southern California home ever since, moving and working in Los Angeles mostly and sometimes in San Diego interchangeably. I am always looking to excel the limits of traditional expressions and breaking barriers creating illusions and magic.
