I am a screenwriter & director interested in independent cinema, global
narratives & a return to shooting on celluloid.
After studying at Hunter College’s Cinema Studies program, I graduated
from the University of Southern California with a Bachelor's in Film and
Television Production. I have directed many short films, including A
Prescribed Burn of a Savanna Oak and Framed, and written several feature
screenplays. My short films have screened at local and international film
festivals, including New York Indie Short Film Festival, Mirada Corta
International Film Festival and Paris Short Film Festival.
In August 2023, I participated in PlayLab Films Creator’s Lab with
Apichatpong Weerasethakul in Yucatán, Mexico. Under the guidance of
the Thai director, I made the short film I Caught a Glimpse of Myself,
Briefly.
I am currently in post-production of a short documentary about women in
esports, in association with 1,000 Dreams Fund and Riot Games.
My interests lie in non-distinct geographical identities, classical dance,
slow narratives and global music.
I am also the founder of WabiSabi Films, LLC, a production company
interested in slow cinema, shooting on celluloid and independent
filmmaking. Although created to support my own short films, the
company is intended to produce films that express a similar interest in
experimental, slow, and intentional cinema.
