New work for Dune 🌸 directed & styled by me. Director of Photography Tyler Fukuda. AC and Grip Cristian Castillo. Digital Colorist Cameron Tavakoly.

Shot on the ARRI Alexa Mini with Cooke S4/i lenses. With love in Los Angeles☁️

Stills from ‘The Siren’ – the largest, most ambitious project I’ve made so far is finally complete! This short film taught me so much. So, so many talented artists worked on it, it’s insane! To everyone who heard me pitch a quirky sapphic fantasy film with sirens, an ensemble of poets, shooting in the ocean, all on a microbudget – and said yes! – thank you beyond words.🩶

Three years ago I dyed my hair ginger and moved to LA! What a dream it’s been. Never have I felt so at home so quickly. Los Angeles, nowhere is as beautiful and inspiring as you, our city of stars. I’ve met so many amazing people, learned so much, made so much art. Here’s a chaotic little scrapbook of the past three years and the people who made them so special🫶🏻

Presenting another Super 8 workshop I’m hosting at the Kodak House in Hollywood, next Friday, November 21 from 2-4pm! This will be the last one for a while, so stop by if you’ve been thinking about it. It’s a great place to learn about shooting on film if you’re unsure where to start, and to meet new film friends. Link in bio for tickets, and as always, dm me with any questions. So excited!⋆₊˚⊹

Stills from “The Audition” – premiering at @ascf_official festival on November 8!📕

My first short I directed on 35mm! I made it after a series of projects that were very (perhaps overly) ambitious in scale, ones where I felt like I was losing control as a creative. For this film, we wanted to keep it deliberately small and contained. We shot one location, with one talent, the crew just myself and two best friends. Returning to the core of filmmaking brought the love back, and you can see it here🩰🖌️

Happy to announce I’m hosting another SUPER 8 WORKSHOP event at the KODAK HOUSE in Hollywood, next Friday, August 1 from 2-4pm! This one is a little different – a lecture-style lesson, followed by time to get your hands on some different Super 8 models and check them out, including the new Kodak Super 8 camera. Perfect for beginners who are interested in film and unsure where to start – and also an awesome networking opportunity to meet some new friends at the Kodak House. You are welcome to bring your own camera, and/or bring your own film! Film will also be available for purchase at the Kodak House if you wish to shoot there. We will not be providing film/scan/dev in this specific workshop, in an effort to make a more affordable class option. As always, dm me with any questions, limited spots, $15, link in bio!
