Language: No dialogue

  • Motion

    Motion recalls a Kerouac-like adventure. A protagonist out to find love while coming to grips with the male ego as seen through a voyeuristic perspective. Functioning on the fringes of reality as perspectives shift and contort around the filmmaker, who finds solace, a woman, and religion on the journey as well as the feeling that life is fleeting.

  • Shopping Cart

    Humankind’s penchant for overindulgence is explored through images of a shopping cart in a vast deserted parking lot.

  • Rewards

    The film’s original inspiration was Ward’s Pond, a small kettle hole in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts.Touching off from the natural energies of this constricted urban green space, the film underwent destructive physical processes involving bleach and boiling. The resulting debris of emulsion fluctuate between representational image and the physical presence of the film strip, whose battered surface, nevertheless, continues to evoke the natural decay endlessly taking place on the pond’s shores.

  • Move

    Move depicts the surreal dream life of a young comatose man, and how it attempts to guide him to consciousness. Although he seems to be disconnected from life, his interior self echoes symbols of caring from the outer conscious world. Even after he appears to awaken, his imagination presents more ambiguity.

As his poetic imagination flourishes, he rediscovers sincerity.

  • Watershed

    A watershed moment invites an exploration of perception and passage. Using the multiple meanings of a watershed basin, moment and the literal ‘watershed’, the film is deceivingly simple but unfolds layers of meaning concerning images, representation and ontology.

  • HiFi Normal

    “Toward the insignificant” was the oblique strategy card that inspired this VHS collaboration. Beginning with representational images of a local landmark, the image gradually decays until it is replaced completely with abstraction. Two VHS decks were joined together and plugged into one side of a handmade DIY video mixer, while the other input of the mixer was connected to a VHS camera running a feedback loop. The starting image running on the loop was a static image of a telecommunications tower in the centre of Moncton which in recent years, has become almost useless, standing alone in the middle of…

  • Seeker Wing

    One person makes the long and difficult journey towards finding their own beauty. In trying to mimic the beauty of others around them, they repeatedly fail at their attempts to be something they’re not. Only when they muster the courage to look inward, do they find what they were looking for all along.

  • In Passing

    A short lesbian art erotic film about a chance encounter between two women, complete strangers to each other, in the city of Belgrade. An impulsive attraction between them is driven by a strong sensual connection and the story of pursuit builds up quickly in one afternoon and enchanting night. Free of dialogue and with an original musical score, this short film can be likened to a fantasy or dream.

    you rub me the wrong way was created as part of SOUND + VISION TORONTO produced by Basement Arts. This project paired 5 local filmmakers with 5 local bands/musicians and 1 local neighborhood. I was asked to interpret and adapt a song by the potent forces behind post-punk band Pants & Tie in Toronto’s dynamic Kensington Market.
