Sephora + Complex "Beauty Beyond the Surface”

Danessa Myricks

“One of the challenges that I had was that I never really saw anyone who looked like me outside of my family,” the Queens, New York native said. “I would see someone and want to change myself so that I could fit in.”

Ros Gold-Onwude

“My mom did not know how to handle my hair,” the ESPN sports broadcaster says. “She used to pay me a dollar to sit down and let her comb it. It was so hard [for her.] She had very fine, thin hair and I had thick, tight curls.”

James Sanders

For James, his first introduction to beauty came by way of his grandmother. Sanders can vividly remember the smell of his grandmother’s perfume and pork bacon frying on the stove, filling the air as she adorned herself for Sunday service.

Claire Ateku

Trying to figure out your identity is challenging for any child or pre-teen. It can be especially tough for first-generation young people who must navigate the world their parents are from, while trying to survive in the world they now occupy. Complex host Claire Ateku candidly discusses this balancing act and more in the first episode of Complex and Sephora’s Beauty Beyond the Surface video.

Ivy Coco Maurice

Ivy speaks candidly about growing up as a West Indian, West African chubby kid “who always had a cool dance move in my back pocket.” Ivy says she was always adored at home, but as she got older acne became an issue, which led to cruelty in school.

Social Trailer

Nine Mile Circle was brought on by Complex to post-produce this five-part Brand Documentary series for Sephora. Editor Kyle Kramb worked closely with director B.Monet to tell the stories of five people with different relationships to beauty through conversation and curating a set of products that are quintessentially them.

In addition to the creative editorial, color grade, VFX, and sound design of the documentaries, Nine Mile delivered a package that included various trailers for Instagram and other social media.

McAllister's Tea makes everything sweeter. The pouring of McAlister's Tea in the foreground of each story demonstrates that sweet tea is making the difference between your easily forgettable life and your more memorable moments.

Starting in pre-production, editor Kyle Kramb and Flame artist Michael Wardner worked with director Ben Weinstein to help visualize the tea pour transitions. First, filming test pours of the tea to create an animatic and then supervising the visual effects shots on set.

The campaign was intended primarily for social media. Therefore, most scenes were filmed in multiple ways, considering the various delivery platforms: 16x9, 9x16, 4x5, and square.
