  • La dureté du mental

    “It’s a distraction for many, a profession for a few, when for me sport is my whole life. And if fighting is the reason you’re living. If every muscle clamors : train me, exercise, put on a sprint. Find a competitor or at least fight against a pole. It’s hard to get started but it’s otherwise difficult to stop. Even with your back against the mat. Never mind. You have to stand up and go further. You will now have to fight against yourself.” Transforming Olympic wrestling and pole vaulting Soviet films from the 1980s into expressive, painterly imagery, the…

  • Leaves Like Feathers

    Leaves Like Feathers A neo-Impressionist film. A painterly film. Leaves Like Feathers was shot mostly with an iPhone Pro Max manipulated to blow out the backgrounds (sunlight) to white, and cause foreground subjects to materialize, dissolve, flash, and ‘morph’ into the light—when shot with a moving camera. The subjects are plants, mostly ferns, which are sometimes described as having ‘leaves like feathers.’ This quote came to mind while I was shooting the film: Having condensed his vision to a small area of the surface of his own lily pond, Claude Monet realized that the fragment could indeed suggest not merely…

  • Broca

    Using poetry, interviews with psychologists and survivors, and corporeal imagery, Broca is an experimental documentary hybrid that explores how the mind-body connection is altered after trauma. The Broca’s Area in the brain is involved primarily in speech production. During a traumatic event or when trying to recall a traumatic event, this area shuts down. This makes it harder for a survivor to talk about what’s happened. Our project offers a platform for survivors to tell their stories both verbally and non-verbally.
