My Story

I am a process. I am an experimental animator and documentary filmmaker committed to finding, growing, and celebrating radical joy through community. I think there is something revolutionary to “playing” that we need in our lives – it brings us together as humans. I believe experimenting, exploring, and expanding on what already exists is critical to interrupting the endless repetition of “this is how it has always been done”. For me, there is nothing more exciting than to watch someone who is new to a technique reinvent it as they discover it. I hope we get to build community together. I can’t wait to see what you make.
