Accomplishments
Narcan Short Film
PPAS Film School Final, 2023
I directed, co-wrote, co-produced, and designed this 10-minute short film about a young woman going out for the first time after the death of her boyfriend. I worked on this film as my final for three months and it will be premiering at Lincoln Center this year.
Stuck Short Film
PPAS Film School Final, 2023
I was the director of photography on this 10-minute short about two teenage girls getting locked in a library together. They confess their feelings for each other; the film does not emphasize their relationship for being queer which was the ultimate goal.
Congratulations Short Film
Free Lance, 2023
I wrote, directed, filmed, produced, designed, and edited this 2-minute short film. It portrays a senior in high school getting into her dream university, however it does not turn out to be at all what she expected. This horror film speaks on what young adults sacrifice to pursue their dream career.
