THE QUIET LOUD
2021​ Writer/Director/Cinematographer/Editor
In this short poetic film, a young girl floats through the whimsy of childhood until a sudden traumatic event catapults her into an unknown world, where giants roam and all that was once quiet, has become deafening.
HIDE AND SEEK
2019​ Writer/Director/Editor
Two girls on a long road trip pass through a small, nameless town. Ignoring a warning, they take a risky detour and quickly become lost. Frustration turns to terror as they’re abducted by a figure from the darkness. The story rapidly accelerates as a local police officer searches for them, culminating in a climactic showdown on a dark road where nothing appears to be as it seemed.
