Faces of Westerly
In 2023 I was lucky enough to have the talented interns of Gnarly Bay join me at the farm on a misty June morning. They were tasked with creating a promo video for the town of Westerly called Faces Of Westerly, which was an extension of Josh Behan’s photography project of the same name. If you watched a movie at the United Theatre throughout 2023, chances are you saw my smiling face on the big screen along with some dear friends and familiar faces. The Gnarly Beta team, as they were known, did such an incredible job capturing the magic of our little town. Thank you!
