The Mourning [2020]

Password: HKPortfolio2021

The Mourning was my senior thesis film, and it was completed last year in the fall of 2020.

On this project, my main role was Director of Photography, but I also served as the film’s post-sound mixer and colorist.

Violet [2020]

Violet was also a senior film made by peers of mine within the same semester. While I had no involvement with production of this film, I was asked in the Spring 2021 semester to work on the sound design and final sound mix of Violet. Linked above is an excerpt from one of the climactic scenes.

Cinematography Reel 2020

This brief reel highlights some of my solo and collaborative cinematography work prior to the making of The Mourning.

The Elevator Game was a short film produced during my Junior year. On this film I served as the lead production-sound mixer, the film’s editor, and like my later projects I also worked on the post-sound mix and sound design.
