Two complete films · approximately 10 minutes · 11 images
The films belong to one five-film cycle made during my Brown graduate program. Together, the cycle examines God and sin through technology by studying the physical and spiritual instability of the body.
Ready Mermaid One
2026 · 3:14 · Digital video · Writer, Director, Mermaid
A choose-your-own-adventure short film where the player directs a mermaid until the mermaid starts fighting back. Positioned so that the form (a game) and the question (whose body is this) are the same thing.
Pilgrimage
2026 · 6:43 · Digital video · Director, Editor, Subject
A portrait film of a solo nine-day, 4,000-mile drive from Rhode Island to California, undertaken two days after the Brown University shooting. Framed as a Buddhist pilgrimage — “physical body, sacred landscape, and in suffering you find karmic purification” — the film moves through exploring small-town Alabama, a New Orleans tarot reading, and a Texas constable who shreds the subject’s speeding ticket on the morning of Christmas Eve.
