I’m deeply grateful to every single person who believed in my creative vision and stood beside me to bring this raw, vulnerable film to life. Your support means everything! This is our project! It took each of you to get this done! I love you all so much, and I’ll carry this with me always.🌀🪰Extra love to my creative partner @studio.carrasco ! You are amazing my friend! @noswimming is ready for the world.
Death gazes upon her reflection to find life grinning back at her.
Echo - curious and vibrant - and Silence - unconscious and subjugated - embody the living and dying essences of one soul. In exploring the rules placed around living in a physical body, they strip away layer upon layer of conditioned expectations, revealing what a momentous yet worthwhile undertaking living - really living - is. Embracing the unity of these twin halves allows the soul to discard the constraints of a systemically fearful society and swim down to the limitless unknown, the deep end of life itself.

I feel things before I understand them, film them so I can know my own mind and my own body.

Yesterday, @ggirlscloset teamed up with @katiewarnke in her stunning studio for an unforgettable three-generational Mother’s Day photo shoot!
We were treated to amazing hair 💈 and makeup by the top pro- she’s not only beautiful and talented but also incredible at highlighting your natural beauty. Huge thanks to @makefaces1 , who is available for bookings—and we can't wait to work with her again! @
@katiewarnke doesn’t just capture special moments; she curates wardrobe changes that turn every session into a memorable experience for you and your family. We loved every second with @ggirlscloset and can't wait to see the final photos!
Thinking of a fresh way to celebrate Mother’s Day? Book both of them today! Five stars ✨ highly recommended! A big thank you from the GGirls Crew.

Beyond honored to announce that SARDINE has been officially selected for the Video Art & Experimental Film Festival (VAEFF) in New York City — screening this November 15th 2-4 at the iconic Cinema Village in the Greenwich Village!
I used to live in NYC, so having our film’s New York premiere here means the world. The city that shaped my creative bones will now hold this strange, raw little film — and I couldn’t be more grateful & proud of our entire team. 🐟🩸
As Henrietta’s spirit craves to escape society’s stifling constructs and expectations, she manifests her truer, freer animal nature amidst the assembly line monotony of her day to day. 🐟🩸
