A narrative short created for the 2026 Miami 48 Hour Film Project under JG Films, HAPPINESS? brings an ensemble cast through contrasting exterior and interior settings.
Selected work from the founder’s creative practice.
Shaping the story visually.
From waterfront daylight to intimate café scenes, the film keeps its attention on character.
Dialogue coverage, ensemble staging, selective focus, and layered composition carry the story between bright daylight exteriors and warm interiors.
Across disciplines.
FOR ATTENTION founder Kevin Jacques developed the concept and directed the film, with additional credits for DP & Lighting, editing and color, and sound design. Gabriel Ortiz served as Executive Producer, Marianelle Grajales as Producer, and Laurie Tanner wrote the screenplay.
The project demonstrates Kevin’s experience shaping narrative work across concept, production, and post, with character-focused imagery and a visual approach that moves between bright waterfront scenes and warm, intimate interiors.
