"17 Things I Wish I Could Tell You Since You Died" is a film that honors the filmmaker's brother, who died of AIDS at the height of the crisis in the U.S. The film recalls things the filmmaker wishes she could relay to her late brother, including her own move to New York City and her belief that he would have really liked Hettie Macdonald's "Beautiful Thing." The film is an experimental exploration of loss and grief and unsaid things.

"Couleurs | Orange" is a meditative film on the color orange. It explores orange as the original color for love, and how goldfish were named goldfish (instead of orange fish) because the coinage didn't exist yet. With beautiful, swirling imagery, "Couleurs | Orange" is a sweet, buoyant experimental short; an ode to a color we often take for granted. Special thanks to Bat-Sheva Guez for the use of her film 3F.

"Dispatches Amidst" is a film that was made collaboratively, during lockdown. Filmmaker Lanie Zipoy asked friends living in different boroughs in New York City to record their urban environment. The film was inspired by Chantal Ackerman's aesthetic. It was part of the series Rhythms Routines Rituals at Theaterlab's reopening in May 2021.
