TECC THE HALLS Recap
Helped polish a recap from Lil Tecca’s tour — the very last stop, Christmas Day, back home in New York. Nothing flashy, no overthinking. The ask was simple: make it feel alive. The edit already had the moments: quick performance hits, fans before the show, fans after, etc. so my job was really about restraint. Let the energy breathe, add just enough texture to glue it all together, and not step on the emotion. Sometimes the hardest part creatively is knowing when to chill.
