Cycles Unbroken: The Black Hole of Love

• This is a film that I created for my Intermediate Film Production course. This is also the film that I screened at my sophomore showcase!

Drawn to Darkness

• This is a film that I created for my Horror Production course. The prompt was simply to create a horror short film. This film is about a college art student who is stuck in a creative block. She can't figure out what to draw for her next project, when suddenly she thinks of an idea. As she starts drawing, she comes to the realization that the drawing looks like her. When blood starts to seep out of the drawing all of a sudden, the lines between fiction and reality start to blur.

The Bond of a Lifetime

• This is a film that I created for my Intermediate Film Production course. The prompt was to create a portrait of anyone. I decided to make this project about my younger sister and our sisterhood. I always admired how my parents took many videos of my sister and I in our childhood, and looking through old and more recent videos, I realized that our younger selves and present selves have a lot in common. I used this to my advantage throughout this film.

Avant

Inside and out, this church was beautiful to capture.
