Happy Samhain! 👻 This music video was released Halloween 2018! It’s still giving me so much joy. This was the first thing I ever directed, and probably still the most ambitious bc I was so GREEN. I couldn’t have done it without @jpausanos taking a chance on me @anderswericsson genius edit, @landbreakersf creative wizardry and of course @broganbentley1 sick track “Your favorite color” and all the witches…
Very excited about this hometown-ish screening of @mondegreen.film at @millvalleyfilmfest ! It’s playing in “The Grass is Blue” shorts block, which has the best title, AND the other shorts look amazing
Friends! Lots of exciting @mondegreen.film screenings coming up in October. See it at a theater near you. Some virtual screenings so you could even watch in the comfort of your home… Fun fact: the song playing here is in the film, extra points to people who guess where…
It’s my birthday today! My two modes: strip club bathroom or grassy hill!! See! I’m SUCH a Capricorn mer-goat who goes between ocean and mountain!! It’s been a good year 😘
Thank you @sffilm and the SFFilm Makers program for the opportunity to be part of your 2024 FilmHouse Residency Program. Already in the first few weeks I’ve been blown away by the caliber of our cohort. I am so excited to learn, connect, and work together this year 🎬
Ok I am excited to share this photo but also super excited for a couple films I worked on to be screening this weekend at @nightofshorts . The first is the @drumandlace Armatura music video, which I directed, and the second is the short The Edge of the Light, directed by @hkinder which I production designed. Lots of gratitude to the folks running Night of Shorts for an opportunity to gather and celebrate local filmmakers.
🌿 The vegetal world we created for Drum & Lace’s Armatura music video took on another life as onstage visuals for @drumandlace performance @earthackney in London. I wanted to see what would happen with meditative movement and minimal effects— a visual verdigris lullaby. Sharing some of my favorite stills here. Shot by @andyhoffman_dp 🌿
It’s moving to see how much the Frost EP is resonating with you all, thank you for listening this weekend ❄️ really excited to share a beautiful visual by @omglmg for the title track ‘Frost’ ❄️ The video was shot on a vintage camcorder on MiniDV, and uses a crystal ball, light, crystals & abalone shells to create the most hypnotic and mesmerizing visuals which you can watch in full on my YouTube 🌬️ for now enjoy the short snippet and some lovely stills
Also, the EP got the kindest & most amazing review by @acloserlisten , which was published yesterday and you can find on their site 🤍 Thank you for the support, always!
Frost EP is out now on all digital platforms 💙 xox
A recent foray into the land of camcorder roses. Trying to manifest a little project in this Mini DV format as I continue to hunker down on my multiple screenplays.
If you know me, you know I’ve been working on a feature screenplay tentatively titled “Jane” for a very long time now. It’s a 19th-century thriller centered on a Chinese American woman on the run in the deep redwoods of Northern California. Writing often feels like groping around in the dark. But there are some lucid moments. One of them was advancing to the 2nd and final round of Sundance’s feature development track with this project, which forced me to polish an entire draft. Another was generating AI images from text based on the film. When making lookbooks/decks/moodboards, I often know I’m on the right track if there are no images for what I’m trying to express. This was such a fun way to create images that didn’t exist before. Here’s to spooky creative endeavors in the spookiest time of the year.
