Experiencing Interruptions?

Kreme

Growing up in a home fighting to be seen, Kreme set her sights on a life of fame in an attempt to make her loved ones pay attention to her. The industry desensitizes her, and she quickly loses sight of her motivations, living each day according to the unrealistic and flawed expectations of the media.

All eyes on her, and if it’s attention she’s looking for, it’s clear she found it. During an interview, she’s reminded of what started it all. Who started it all. Her motivations become clear as she begins to heal through reflection. After an unexpected event, she’s determined to begin healing, but she finds out that the ugly side of the attention economy doesn’t go away just because she wants it to.

As the industry evolved and the digital age began to take shape, Saint branched out to start his own production company Motion 20 which focused on digital branding for businesses and film production. He has worked with a variety of startups like Sonica, Rite Paint & Renos, Sky services along with recognizable brands like Sony Music, Seneca College, OVO and New Balance just to name a few.
