Creative and Commercial Work

A complete compendium of my creative work.

In Spring of 2022, I worked with Annalyse studios on Annalyse Yue’s INNSAEI campaign.

An Experimental short film created by my friend Daniel Locke and I.

The idea was based off a number of different other works including Ponysmasher (David F. Sandberg) films and Kurt Vonnegut. The story follows a young man through the American Education system in a time of heightened politicization in the media.

For this piece, I was inspired by Wu Tsang’s piece “Into a Space of Love.”

I interviewed a few of my friends about what they find upsetting in their lives, as well as what they find to make their lives worthwhile. I took the most unsettling parts of their interviews and put them together into a distorted mosh of editing to the beat of a song I created.

This film was developed between my friend Stella Choi and I in 2020. The story is based on a poem by José Martí.

I arrived to Shanghai, China in late 2020 and we began developing the concept while I was in full-quarantine in my hotel. Once I left the hotel, we had very little time to film and wrap up production on “I Have a White Rose to Tend.”

Here’s a short film-noir spoof my friends and I made in 2020 as part of a case study for a class on film-noir.

All acting was done by seasoned industry-professionals!

Here’s a short documentary I made for an art collective in San Diego in 2018.

I’ve definitely come a long way since then! My attention to detail while recording sound was not the best, but being able to create a piece that brought attention to the challenges that artists have to face was important to me.
