I was cinematographer on this short film about hope and family. Piper was photographed fast and hard over a weekend in late March 2017 at locations across the Rio Grande Valley of south Texas; including Brownsville, Harlingen, and South Padre Island.

It later officially premiered January 20, 2018 at the Brownsville Museum of Fine Art.
