Anu Valia’s We Strangers is a razor-sharp debut, staging a subtle yet powerful critique of privilege, status, and the quiet machinery of elite social norms.

Through its tightly contained 80-minute runtime, Valia crafts an aesthetic that is both minimal and potent: her film’s atmospheric framing captures the strange intimacy of domestic spaces and the suffocating weight of social conformity. Charlotte Hornsby’s cinematography and James Codoyannis’s editing render each moment fluid and volatile, underscoring the unpredictability beneath ordinary surfaces.
NYC Friends! This year I was asked to be a board member for Isogram Projects by my talented friend @sugarvendil . One of the many projects Sugar wanted to focus on were more Filipinx centered art events. I’m happy to share that our first event is a Filipinx holiday gathering today, December 10th at 4pm @maihousestudio . There will be performances by @kindingsindaw and @sugarvendil . Followed by a conversation with Kinding Sindaw founder @potri_ranka_manisny & Sugar. Food by @badforbusinesspopups and Drinks by @4wheeltricyclenyc . We need art and community more than ever with state of the world. All are welcome! Link in my bio ✨
SXSW 23: Saw old friends and made new ones, found refuge in a church during a thunderstorm with Madison McFerrin and Baby Rose, got promoted so popped champagne , laughed and cried watching Being Mary Tyler Moore, Isabella Lovestory told us to hop a fence, witnessed Sudan Archives captivate a crowd, Osees pit (obvz), The mothafuckin Zombies!! Only regret not taking enough pictures with friends 🥲
Thanks @benjaminnorman for making me look as cool as the rest of the @found.objects crew!
Happy to finally announce I’ve joined the ever so talented artist collective as a Producer & Music Supervisor 😎
