My Work

A personal exploratory short film I made in my Personal Filmmaking class in the Spring of '22, my final semester of college. The film, originally intended to be a retelling/reenactment of my memories in the days before the passing of my late best friend, ultimately became a meditation on grief, the passing of time, and the ways in which film as a medium can serve as a form of therapy.

My final film for the independent study I did in the Fall of 2021. An experimental short film that I view as the starting point for the films I hope to create throughout my career.

An interview I did with my father as an accompaniment for his proposed legislation to raise the minimum age for an American soldier to be deployed to combat based on personal experience and the findings of neuroscientists.

In this video project (fully explained in the full essay linked below), I attempted to use the cubist technique of fragmentation to contribute to the discourse surrounding the relationship between film and reality. The video was curated and edited with as little artistic mediation as possible through the use of subjects who filmed and directed themselves, as well as editing choices dictated by a random number generator to emulate the randomness that governs reality and our universe more generally. This project was extremely engaging and difficult, in terms of the theory behind it, ultimately leading me to ask the question: is the pursuit of objectivity worth the abandonment of aesthetics?
