Client: Tate Strategy

I was contracted as host and interviewer for Crossroads, a filmed conversation series capturing emotionally raw stories from public figures at pivotal turning points. Tasked with embodying unscripted depth and emotional precision, I walked cultural figures into charged terrain without oversteering, spectacle, or flattening complexity.

 

No pre-interviews. No scripts. Just a single camera, an open room, and a shared willingness to go deep. With only the question as anchor, I served as both witness and guide—listening for the unsaid, tracking emotional undertow, and inviting reflection without intrusion.The outcome was intimate, cinematic conversations that honored the hard-earned wisdom of turning points without overproducing them. 

 

The series proved that when vulnerability is met with reverence, icons become human—and their turning points become templates for anyone navigating hard-won transformation.
