Alone started as a passion project between myself and my collaborator, Sam Tersigni. Our mission was to create a montage and we decided to use this opportunity to tell a story of mental health struggles and isolation. Along side Sam,  I wrote, edited, shot, directed and starred in this film. 

In late 2021, I was tasked with creating a piece out of clay that was at once functional and anthropomorphic. I wanted to create something simple, understated and gentle. For this piece, I was inspired by divine femininity and the beauty of natural feminine bodies. 

When creating this bust, I was inspired by the tale of Sappho. Sappho was a Greek poet active between the years of 650 and 450 BCE. She was the first female poet to ever write romantically about other women. According to myth, Sappho died by suicide, throwing herself off of a cliff after the love of her life married someone else. Through this sculpture, I sought to capture the moment right before her death, filled with dread and hopelessness.

I collaborated with three other filmmakers for Date Night, my regular partner Sam Tersigni as well as Olivia Courbette- Hampton and Taylor Florence. It all started with the idea of using flashbacks as a narrative device. Eventually, the film turned into a campy, femme fatale inspired murder flick. This film was selected for the 2023 Rosedale Film Festival. 

A Rough Night was created for a University application in which the prompt was to create a 90-second film that follows the theme of "New Beginnings". I decided to create this film entirely independently, to make a sort of slice-of-life film that captured a moment of humanity. I edited, directed, shot, wrote and starred in this film. 

Portrait of Paloma is a commentary piece on the impact of surroundings on growth, as well as the ever-changing meaning of "home".  My subject, Paloma Stewart-Ramos is a Spanish-Canadian who spent most of her childhood in Spain and moved to Canada on her own at the age of sixteen. Her unique perspective and her relationship with nature inspired this piece. 

Talk To Me is a film about youth, growth, friendship and yearning. This film was heavily inspired by the work of Wong Kar Wai and the general concept of "night". I wrote, edited directed and shot this film. 

Portrait of Laura Bickle is an intervention piece in which I examined and twisted the meaning of Portrait of Mabel Cawthra (1891) by Edmund Wyly Grier. My final piece is a comment on the beauty of aging and the misogynistic concept of women ever being "past their prime". 

I worked alongside Sam Tersigni once again on this mockumentary-style film. This film takes a comedic look at a fictional psych ward and two quirky ghost hunters. 

The Ritual started as a photography project. I was inspired by films like The Craft, Practical Magic and The Love Witch, each of which explore female empowerment, female friendships and the concepts of magic and witchcraft. I found these themes really interesting and once the photos were taken, it felt natural to turn them into a short film.
