Entities with Knowledge
Entities with Knowledge documents a session of psilocybin assisted therapy that I underwent for the purpose of treating my depression. Threaded through my ‘trip’ are scenes with people who place psilocybin mushrooms at the forefront of their lives. Taking the audience on a series of hairpin emotional turns, it’s a film that is sometimes funny, sometimes upsetting, and often difficult to predict.
A Third Testament
In a house lost in the middle of the woods, on the edge of a lake, a group invents an ephemeral Eden. Between simple life moments and cathartic rites, they grow together, doing rituals.
Sanctuary of Her
Two identical twin sisters from Iran create mesmerizing paintings that reflect a major conflict in their lives.
Structures of Movement Q&A

Montana filmmaker Ian Frank shares stories from Philipsburg. Shot on 16mm anamorphic, "Art of Maintenance" delves into the transformative power of fixing broken things, including ourselves. Personal voicemails provide a window into my experience helping my grandfather maintain a family cabin on Rock Creek. The film seeks to portray a lifelong dedication to quality, emulating my grandparents' religious convictions and integrating “classic vs. romantic” worldviews on maintenance, artistry, and self-care.
