The reason I’m a filmmaker is because there is something about storytelling that continues to fascinate me - the opportunity to create a story and have it affect people in a deep way. As I’ve grown and changed, it has pulled me more and more by necessity, and now it has become the natural expression of my reflections and feelings (the natural state of things…)
I really enjoy creating and shaping the atmosphere for people’s escapes, whether that is through watching short films or a hype video for a concert or community art exhibition…what interests me the most is creating these escapes for people, the opportunity to enter another world.
Personal Work
I am currently in the pre-production stage for my film, “In Vivid Memory, Come Again!!” You can read more about the film and support here:
I am also in the process of continuing my summer research project entitled “To Be Queer and Black in the 70s", which focuses on audiovisual materials by and about black queer activists in the 70s and pairs them with original disco music.
