(girl) cruelty
A teenage girl, subject to bullying at school, now resides elsewhere, but her tormenters won't leave her alone.
My House Is Mine
A young girl reflects on her past while looking into a dollhouse. Pairing childhood nostalgia with the fear of growing up and time passing too quickly, My House is Mine is an encapsulation of family dynamics and their impact on the young mind.
The Well Fed Heart
Who do YOU want to be?
Expiration Date
Teenage girl Iris considers herself very average, except one thing - she has thirty days to live. She considers it a challenge to complete as many outlandish things as she can before the thirty days are up, all while recording it for her crush Jack. She’s forced to come to terms with herself - and her illness.
And the break of innocence
Experimental film that explores sound, color, stop motion, and objects. A short experimental story about children becoming Adults and the difficulties a child experiences.
Decomposition
An experimental mixed-media tone-poem.
Trip Switch
This film is representing what I feel during a panic attack, as expressed through a glitchy 80s video game. The cause of anxiety is unknown and confusing. Then suddenly it becomes a sensory overload....like a fuse with too much current.

A teenage girl, subject to bullying at school, now resides elsewhere, but her tormenters won't leave her alone. As her bullies change tactics to leaving cryptic voicemails, their cruelty is conveyed in subdued ways showcasing the subtlety of their manipulation and viciousness. On the receiving end of the threats, the girl's emotions are relayed through portraits of her eyes and short animations.
