Cousin Stizz - Trying To Find My Next Thrill

Cited as one of Gilad Haas' favorite projects to-date, Shadow Lion produced and directed a short film for recording artist Cousin Stizz, a Dorchester-native, as Stizz was preparing for his third studio album.

His album spoke to the full story of growing up outside of Dorchester, MA and the array of experiences that he encountered there during his childhood.

This was one of the first Shadow Lion productions that took place in a scripted environment, including directing actors. Haas joined Stizz between LA and Boston to film the video and help capture the two different worlds he occupied.

It was a rewarding experience to see a crew perform, and when a scene was on the money, it caught an emotional reaction from Stizz and his team while on set.

Shadow Lion was founded in 2017 with the goal of supporting Tom Brady’s off-field media efforts. Leaning on insights from those experiences, we quickly began providing creative services to other athletes, influencers and organizations as well.

Our creative philosophy is simple: move people.

No matter the medium, better storytelling and better content will always lead to higher and more quality engagement. We are the creators and the audience, which gives us a unique perspective on how to create impactful content that people actually want. We develop and execute, which allows us to cut out expensive "middlemen" by developing original creative and then executing with top-notch production. Ultimately, we’re always looking to create visceral reactions. From the heart, to the heart.
