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.
My interests lie in non-distinct geographical identities, classical dance, slow narratives and global music.
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 a short experimental film that is currently in the process of distribution.
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.
