KINGFISHERS (2016) Director, Camera, Editor

This video was produced for the inauguration for Creighton University’s new president, Fr. Daniel Hendrickson. It was screened during the inauguration ceremony and shared on social video.

Creighton University pushes us to be moved outside of ourselves to become people of gratitude, that work for justice and that "Christ". Inspired by Gerard Manley Hopkins' poem:

As kingfishers catch fire, dragonflies draw flame;
As tumbled over rim in roundy wells
Stones ring; like each tucked string tells, each hung bell's
Bow swung finds tongue to fling out broad its name;
Each mortal thing does one thing and the same:
Deals out that being indoors each one dwells;
Selves — goes itself; myself it speaks and spells,
Crying Whát I dó is me: for that I came.

I say móre: the just man justices;
Keeps grace: thát keeps all his goings graces;
Acts in God's eye what in God's eye he is —
Chríst — for Christ plays in ten thousand places,
Lovely in limbs, and lovely in eyes not his
To the Father through the features of men's faces.
