13 films in package
Amulet
Animated to a track composed of koudounia samples, this film’s abstract imagery originated in cameraless techniques that include stencil and bleach on 16mm color stock, and cyanotype.
Nimueh
"Nimueh" is a hybrid 16mm and digital experimental film that explores the mythologizing of the body after violence and death.
Konstantin
Through triple-exposed, high-contrast B&W film, Konstantin explores themes of queer love and queer ecology. It invites the viewer to enter a unique and poetic world, where the boundaries between the human and natural realms blur and merge.
Signal
We burn away our bonds from old forms and ideals and stagnancy due to a global pandemic. This film is a spell cast to help us all break our self-limiting bonds and remember to lean on each other, and continue to inspire each other to keep walking forward. To keep burning.
She's Watching
When she wakes up trapped in a nightmare, she must find a way out by facing her biggest fear: herself.
moto baby
A love letter magnifying the intersection of transgender identity, nature, and motorcycles.
Home
A Tibetan refugee shares his story growing up as part of the first wave of Tibetans to settle in India as his daughter responds and connects through narrative movement.
1000 Waters (Oceans & Friends)
A video meditation on the element of water. When I feel disconnected from myself, loved ones, or the Earth, I find it helpful to remember that water is relentless in its efforts to connect. Water is in constant motion, changing and transforming, linking everything to everything else on this planet and beyond.
66 Motel
"66 Motel" explores the misconnections, the unspoken thoughts, and the delusions we experience in our digitally connected world.
Cameras are clocks for seeing
Incorporating text fragments from Roland Barthes as stanzas interspersed into personal meditations on landscape photographs taken by my beloved as a teenager. I meditate on how Seattle (the city where we met) and the time that we have spent there (together and apart) has shaped how we experience place, identity, and our relationship.
Bubblegum
Star and Cleo – two siblings from a small town – have to choose between personal gain or honest sacrifice when they stumble upon a life-changing reward.
unwavering/unfettered
Hammered into 16mm found footage of a police propaganda film, subtext emerges letter for letter from the redundancy of repeated text—a reclamation of bodily autonomy from those who pose as protectors.
Spetunia Rising
In the depths of far away places, what do we discover that stirs the smile, entices the light, that lures the fish?

When I feel disconnected from myself, loved ones, or the Earth, I find it helpful to remember that water is relentless in its efforts to connect. Water is in constant motion, changing and transforming, linking everything to everything else on this planet and beyond.


1000 Waters (Oceans & Friends) is part of the 1000 Waters series; video meditations on the element of water. All of the shots in 1000 Waters are culled from my archive of daily video shooting with a consumer camera, a Flip camera or iPhone. Since April 1, 2011, I have been shooting a single-take, 60-second video each day, called a Minute Movie. I recently organized the Minute Movies into a massive database of over 5000 shots. About 20% of the shots in the archive contain water in the form of streams, lakes, the ocean, fountains, waterfalls, bath tubs, sinks, rain, hot springs, and more.
