An introduction to my work with film
Film Stills from “On Preservation”
“On Preservation” is a short documentary that focuses on preserving the oral and artifactual history of my grandmother's story in a modern way that will be an easily accessible source for all of our family members as it is scored into the dimensions of the powerful and heavily influential interweb. The film carries out its intention, to preserve, with the use of claymation, family mementos and the raw, unscripted recollections of those who love my grandmother Joan. While preservation is the intention of the project, the goal is to inspire connection. It is too often that years go by without communication and connection between family and loved ones alike. Before I make “On Preservation” readily accessible to friends and family members, we must come together to watch the project, laugh, reminisce and share community. This work was completed in 2025 and is currently up for view on vimeo.
Film Stills from “An Interview With the Earthlings”
“An Interview with the Earthlings” is an experimental documentary, and my debut short film, that works to unpack human behaviors and connections. As the film begins, the character “Blu” is introduced, as is her understanding of the nature of The Ocean. In lieu of her rare and deep understanding of her, The Ocean calls upon Blu in an effort to become more informed on the inner workings of the human experience. After providing The Ocean with her own viewpoints on the topic, Blu then goes deeper into the world searching for more answers. She ultimately finds them through conversation with her peers. This work was featured at the Afrikana Film Festival in September 2023 and is currently up for view on vimeo.
