Outside the Box
Made for Giving Tuesday to support Middle Way School, using footage Weatherfield shot for their founding organization, Middle Way Education.

Year of the Water Tiger
For six years, I directed cultural montages highlighting the qualities of the year’s astrological animal for Shambhala’s online video broadcast, seen by thousands while they celebrated.

Sacred Path: Drala
Drala is the living quality of the phenomenal world that we experience when we wake up our hearts. Using a combination of the teacher’s voice, the teacher’s home videos, and footage self-produced and sourced from other cinematographers, this video was used during an advanced training course to transition students from learning about drala into an exercise where they go out and look for it in their local world.
Directed by Chase Bauer for Shambhala Online
In 2023, I directed a series of videos featuring the students of Middle Way School as teachers of the traditional Lojong Slogans of Atisha for Middle Way Education.
Midsummer’s Day
Working together with Wendy Freedom, I directed another cultural montage to evoke the felt sense of each of the four nyida holidays celebrated in Shambhala.
