Documenting a Vision Reimagined:
The Lake of Dreams Relaunch
"Fifteen years after the iconic Lake of Dreams first debuted, Wynn Las Vegas reunited the original, world-renowned artistic team including director Kenny Ortega, production designer Michael Curry, and lighting designer Patrick Woodroffe to completely remodel and reimagine the signature outdoor spectacle for a new era. On the creative side, I directed Behind the Waterfall, a cinematic, docu-style film that chronicled this monumental creation process as told directly through the eyes of its legendary creators. In tandem with directing the documentary, I spearheaded the development and release of the official relaunch media, leading our team to build out the comprehensive suite of promotional assets used to market the spectacular new shows. From translating complex storyboards into high-impact digital teasers to capturing the technical scale of the warehouse build-outs, this campaign successfully honored the attraction's historic legacy while driving massive public anticipation for its next chapter."
