HOODS TO WOODS: Halo Halo TRIP featuring Lorenzo Morgan

In this collaborative video for the nonprofit Hoods to Woods, Josh teamed up with one of his YCD High School students, Lorenzo Morgan, to tell the story of “The Halo Halo Trip.” The short-form, docu-style piece follows Lorenzo’s life-changing journey to Oregon, where he experienced snow—and snowboarding—for the first time on the slopes of Mount Hood.

In the film, Lorenzo reflects on the surreal experience of connecting with a fellow Jamaican snowboarder, a moment of cultural recognition that expanded his sense of belonging and possibility. Born and raised in Jamaica, he never imagined he’d find himself in a snowy landscape, much less gliding down it.

The project blends lifestyle, sport, and personal narrative into a visual campaign that celebrates unexpected journeys and new perspectives. Beyond storytelling, the collaboration served as a hands-on learning experience—Josh mentored Lorenzo through the process, sharing lessons in camera work, lighting, and editing.
