    So honored to be a part of this festival! I just saw photos and video of the state-of-the-art immersive screening room showing my video, and it looks so amazing!!! So happy to see the music video I created for Cadet A's "Christine Shine On" shown with such appreciation and respect. It looks like an art exhibit in a museum. Much love to Metadisruption and wishing you many more great years ahead!!
