About

I don't just film moments. I make sure they last.

I'm Xavier, a cinematographer and Director of Media based in Baton Rouge, currently running the visual identity of the Texas Southern University Ocean of Soul Marching Band out of Houston. I've been behind the lens for live performances, music videos, and stories that deserved to be told right. Every project I take on gets my full attention, because I think good work speaks louder than anything else.
