Molt With Me





This short is about the beauty of the many versions of oneself. As seen though the natural molting process. An excerpt of my once close knit group of friends through 2021-2025 as we've molted slowly. This short narrows in on a transformative period of time, forcing us to see the ways in which we've molted. When we're confronted with change directly it appears foreign, alien and honestly scary. However, we make changes daily, we molt everyday. Did you molt today?
The Lily Blossoms Made My Throat Itch


My grandmother and I lost contact ,whether deliberate or not, over the last ten years of her life. In the year before her unexpected passing, we reconnected through exchanged voicemails, her final words carrying both apology and love (I like to think). Through imagery of orange lilies, symbols of both devotion and resentment. I reconstruct her kitchen from cardboard and sculpt her likeness from clay, fragile recreations made entirely from memory. As her last voicemail plays, the film traces an imagined farewell, lingering in the space between absence, reconciliation, and the ache of unspoken words.

Untitled: Chicago Letter



Untitled Chicago Love Letter is an experimental short tracing memory through place. Across seasons, Alta Vista Terrace becomes a quiet refrain, filmed in summer, fall, winter, and spring, while bus rides along Western, Damen, Ashland, and Fullerton carry the filmmaker past every apartment she has lived in. Through windows and streetscapes, the city transforms into an archive of personal history, a map of belonging and change. Both love letter and elegy, the film reflects on how Chicago holds its people, and how memory lingers in the spaces we leave behind and come back to.
