Mastitis Story (Segment)
This is a segment of a longer project I'm working on about Dan the sheep farmer. This segment tells the struggle of two newborn lambs when it turns out their mother has a bad case of mastitis.
Kylee's Marimba
This project was my entry to the My RØDE Reel 2020 video competition. The requirements were that each entry must be one to three minutes, and must use a RØDE product in the making of the film.
The Archivist
I worked as an archivist and film projectionist at my alma mater UNCSA during the time I studied there. That job gave me the opportunity to handle actual 35mm film prints on a regular basis. It was often a profound experience to be able to touch and hold this medium that inspires me so deeply, to touch and hold time itself. I composed all the music.
Farewell Party
My friends threw me a farewell party the night before I moved across the country to Los Angeles, California. My friend Lily helped me by taking turns operating the camera so I could appear in some of the shots. This is some of the footage we got that night, with some music I made.
Yawsameen Getting Ready
A little movie I made out of footage I filmed of my dear friend Yawsameen.
Painting With Time (Video Essay)
After my first time teaching film editing online, I felt inspired to make this video for my students as a reflection of the process of becoming a film editor. The activity I had them do consisted of downloading a prepackaged DaVinci Resolve project folder (the project file and the media files) that I made for them, and cutting the project scene using specific editing techniques we discussed in class. Part of my goal was to throw them into the deep end so that they could do what every great filmmaker tells young filmmakers to do: learn by doing. Experience is the greatest teacher of all.
Good Knight
This was an assignment for my Film Directing class at UNCSA. It was called the "Still Frame Assignment." The task was to tell a cinematic story using nothing but still photographs and music. Most of my peers created beautiful, personal tone poems about their lives using voice-over narration. I made this. I composed all the music.
Bee and Worm and Man
This was an assignment for my Film Directing class at UNCSA. The assignment was called the "Camera Movement Assignment." The task was to create a short video that is one single shot, no cuts or edits; tell a story just through the movement of the camera. I'm not sure what the story is in this video, but I did enjoy capturing that contemplative, rainy atmosphere. I also did hide a few cuts in there. The guy in the video is my great friend and roommate, Matt Meredith. I composed and performed all the music.
Men Cry In Showers
This is a short that Matt and I made for our Directing class during our freshman year of college. The assignment was to create a dream sequence without any diegetic sound.
Thick Nipples
This is another short film that Matt and I made for our Directing class during our freshman year of college. The assignment was simply to create a conflict scene between two characters; one wants something from the other, conflict ensues.

Reflections (2018)
Reflections (2018)
This is a video I made for the Live Más Scholarship competition. I won the scholarship three times; this is the video that won the second time. The prompt was to create a two-minute video that describes how the previous scholarship money was put to use, how it has furthered the applicant's journey toward their "dream."
MovingOnlineBID (Videography Job)
This is a job I did for my mom (who is in the video) for her emergency online teaching initiative at the Inter-American Development Bank. This is the homepage video for the initiative. I filmed it all myself while staying at my parents' house, and I composed all the music.
Sweet Beat
This is a short that Matt and I made right before classes started for our freshman year of college.
