Don’t Hang Up
This comedic drama depicts an experience that we all have had at one time or another.
(in)visible string
This story is centered around a main character who believes her soulmate is dangerous (although this is never truly discovered). I wanted to leave the plot open to interpretation, and so not much is explained in the video.
Thursday Nights
When I was 11 years old, I was told a story that would someday help me through one of the most challenging times of my life, nearly a decade later. For a class project, my teacher instructed me to make a poster about the “hero’s journey”. I had to find someone in my family with a unique story, then create a poster explaining each step of their heroic journey. Naturally, I chose to do my project on Nana, my grandmother.
This Crime is Organized
This is an original song and music video I made last year for my social studies class. I wrote, produced, filmed and edited the entire thing. The song is satire about the mafia. Enjoy!
Sister Star
"Sister Star" displays how far a child's imagination can go with words meant to shield them from painful truths.
Der Vampir
This film was created over the course of one week. It is a silent-era inspired short film that I made around Halloween for a "Fright Film" assignment.
Broken Ankles
Based off a poem of the same name, Broken Ankles is a visual poem about the weight of love holding one girl down. This is a personal piece to me, and I wanted to create this to let out what I was feeling. I enjoyed making this film because it allowed me to reflect on my own emotions by transforming them into something visual.
Killing Me Softly
This piece is an excerpt from our most recent film, Killing Me Softly. This film has been the most ambitious film I have ever thought of and worked on.
The Narcissist
The Narcissist explores the idea of negligence through the motif of blindness. Although one character is literally blind, metaphorically, both characters are as well. The boy is blind to his sister’s aid; He is so focused on regaining his eyesight that he pushes everyone else away – even if they are trying to help. The girl, however, is also blind.
Deadly Petals
My artwork is called Deadly Petals. Deadly petals is a Silent Horror romance film. In the beginning of the film it starts off with the 2 characters arguing and quickly escalates when the Girl slaps the Boy when he puts his hand on her shoulder.
For Buddy
"For Buddy," is about a girl who is struggling with the death of her recently deceased dog, Buddy. To process his death she continues the 5 AM dog walking routine they once shared. Each day she brings with her Buddy's old collar and a sandwich to quietly eat under a tree while she watches the other dogs at the park.
Mother Nature
"Mother Nature" is a digital self-portrait that I made to express the anxieties that other people in my generation and I face in relation to the climate crisis.
