Tasked with capturing Usher’s multifaceted role as host and performer for the 2021 iHeartRadio Music Awards, I directed, produced, and shot this exclusive behind-the-scenes piece over the course of a full week. Filmed across rehearsals, dress runs, and live show moments, the piece offers an intimate, all-access look at Usher’s creative process as he prepared for both the awards and his upcoming Las Vegas residency.
