Lola, 15
Director of Photography
LOLA, 15 is the first film in an upcoming series called LET ME GET WHAT I WANT THIS TIME. Its a short, formal documentary which intimately observes the sacred spaces of a fifteen year old girl named Lola. The larger series will examine many more of these spaces across a wide range of race, class, location and culture. The painful process of shedding adolescence is actualized in this highly curated interior--a sanctuary and visible elegy to childhood. Through languid drifts across the details of Lola's bedroom, a secret language is revealed.
Heart of a Dog
Camera Operator
Lyrical and powerfully personal essay film that reflects on the deaths of her husband Lou Reed, her mother, her beloved dog, and such diverse subjects as family memories, surveillance, and Buddhist teachings.
Plea
Cinematography
A public defender has minutes to save her 16-year-old client from a life sentence for murder by convincing him to take a plea deal for a crime he only technically committed, but to defend this boy, she will have to condemn him.
