Director
"Originally focused on exploring the non-content language-soup of social media (with help from programmer/researcher Achim Koh), this iteration of Andra8’s existence is more narrative, with an actual identity growing from influencer primordial data. Subsisting on shakes supplied by subscribers, performing menial tasks trapped in a setting as much to project out as live in, and constantly self-promoting in companionate couching, Andra8’s situation will feel familiar to those reliant on and resentful of the gig economy we’re trapped in." - Screen Slate

you can't plan a perfect day sometimes it just happens
Director
A collage of blown-out, re-appropriated footage of lens flare from contemporary American advertisements. The piece is a critique of and meditation on visual codes for authenticity and spirituality used in white-dominated mass media.
Spectrum
Director
Short investigation of light and color, shot on Super 8mm.
White on White
Director
A woman’s face surfaces in and out of a white, contextless space. Repeating an action in which she turns and distorts her face before the camera, the piece centers on a spectral performance of identity within the material life of the film.
