I work as a filmmaker, artist, and educator.
I enjoy collaboration, analogue film production, bricolage, and jokes.
My research interests are based in early cinema, special effects, play, human/nature, psychogeography, and the everyday.
My films have screened in festivals, galleries, and television networks such as Sundance Film Festival, Melbourne Film Festival, Canal+, SBS Television Australia, Images Festival Toronto, Vancouver International Film Festival, The Museum of Sydney, Centre of Contemporary Culture Barcelona, and others.
I hold an MFA from the University of British Columbia (2018), a BA from the University of Victoria in Film Studies and Japanese Studies, a Diploma of Screen from Sydney Film School (2008), and was a guest student at the Film and TV School of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague (2010).
Born and raised in Vancouver, I now live on the unceded traditional territories of the Sinixt Nation in Nelson, BC, Canada.
