MUSIC VIDEOS

Carnaval founding filmmaker James P. O'Malley has collaborated on a variety of music videos, as well as other projects above, with longtime creative partner Eduardo Souza of Pavê Visual Gastronomy, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Carnaval Studio

Carnaval Pictures has always been my laboratory for clarity, storytelling, and performance under pressure.

It’s the lens that shaped the CORE Framework.

While most of my work today happens one-to-one online, that same director’s eye guides every coaching session — ensuring your message looks, sounds, and feels extraordinary on any stage or screen.

Filmmaking is where I learned resilience. Coaching is where I pass it on.

The Proof — “Real People. Real Change.”
