My films use performance, archival elements, and animation to reshape familiar narratives, forms, and images. I’m interested in physical transformation, and using puppetry, costume, and experimental techniques on Super 8 and 16 mm film to explore how the body can be altered, exaggerated, or displaced. My work examines the ways in which physical forms can be manipulated and exploited to tell stories about identity, authorship, and control.

My short films have screened at festivals like Fantasia Film Festival, Brooklyn Film Festival, Atlanta Film Festival, Lone Star Film Festival, Capital City Film Festival, and  Bridge Chicago. They are also featured online through Labocine as well as the Discover Indie Film series on Amazon Prime Video, Film Shortage, and NoBudge.com.

I grew up in Detroit, MI and earned a BA from Carnegie Mellon University and an MFA from Emerson College. A pelican bit me on the nose when I was 7 and I have been at war with birds ever since.
