Video Production
Social Media & Graphic Design
While working for Hook Arts Media as a Social Media intern, I filmed, edited, and published my interview with Kato. If you want to support an amazing Youth Media and Arts Education Program, look no further than Hook Arts.
Pre-Covid: Dancing at Brooklyn Swings to live music is an experience I wish I could share with others—the laughter, the partnerships, and the connection to the music and those in the room. It was some of the only times I truly felt present, so I wanted to make an appreciation video of one of the many Band Nights.
I have known Maegan since high school and was honored for the opportunity to film her special day. I love this family and the funny, sentimental, and loving advice they always give, so I obviously wanted to incorporate as much of it as I could.
Thankful for their trust and support of my first attempt at wedding videography.
I shot this footage the first week coming back home to rural NW Florida after leaving NYC as the pandemic took hold. I decided to document the small moments that brought me comfort during a turbulent and confusing time. I was inspired by a class I was taking with Peter Lucas at the time called “The Poetics of Witnessing.”

While this is my first solo produced film project and one that is full of moments and edits that make me cringe, it is still an important lesson I learned as a filmmaker and researcher. I learned how easily interview questions can be manipulated to get a certain answer and push a certain narrative—as you will hear someone tell me “that is a leading question”—as well as how data sets and statistics do not tell whole and complicated truths. The people they represent are full of life and complexities that demand to be acknowledged.
This film project also taught me a lot about being an openminded human, a friend, and that Nepali momo’s are the closest to heaven I will ever come.
