Take Me Away Fast
Director
A documentary film about a DJ who journeys throughout West Africa, digging for rare vinyl recordings of Afro-beat music from the 70s.
Outlet
Director
This film tells the personal stories of the teenagers who participate in a support group offered by a Bay Area youth organization called “Outlet.” It includes observational footage of their weekly support group and mentoring meetings, providing a glimpse of the challenges they face at school on a daily basis. Interviews with the support group facilitator, a young activist, and a trans teen address the evolution of queer issues as they are taken on by local middle school and high school students within a context now over 10 years old, but still relevant today in many schools.
Jaywalking
Director
A short exposé that ventures into the world of up-and-coming drag king star, Jay Walker. Guided by Jay, the video takes a look at the humor, freedom, and politics behind women dressing and performing as men. With appearances by other veteran and novice performers, the video paints a rich picture of an artistic and revolutionary movement.
