Memory Lanes
A short, slightly personal, slightly experimental, archival documentary about the history of bowling in America and the history of America in bowling. The film interweaves our established perception of this innocuous all-American game with the pervasiveness of cultural racism, sexism, and violence by showcasing over 100 years of archival bowling footage from newsreels, instructional films, commercials, home movies, and mainstream films & television.
Conversations Between Shifts
Jeanette leads a double life as a nurse and family member, and finds herself fighting labor injustices while trying to process the sudden loss of her mother.
