EMERSON / PCA GBFA - SUMMER 2026
ROLES:
Producer
Director
Screenplay Writer
Editer
I was writer, director, editor and sound mixer for this short film. I had initially written a completed 15 page screenplay for this film however, wanted to do a test run with this single scene to see how the film flowed. So, I explored the psychological horror genre for this film by showing a woman struggling with the grief of her abusive ex-boyfriend who tragically died in a car accident. Dealing with the conflicting emotions of attempting to appear okay but also feeling guilty for wanting to move on with her life which leads her guilt to come back and haunt her.

ROLE:
Screenplay Writer
Script Supervisor
I wrote the screenplay, was script supervisor and still photographer for this short film. The script was 1 of 21 scripts chosen for a final USC Film Intensive program screening. The film follows a woman who becomes obsessed with perfection, using rose-tinted glasses to distort her reality. This obsession is fueled by her boyfriend's doubts about her abilities. The themes of obsession, perfection, and flawed judgment draw from my own life experiences of fear of not being the best.

ROLES:
Producer
Director

Editer
I was the writer, director, and editor for this short film. I explored the idea of career obsession taking over in ones self and the toll it can take on a relationship. Through the story of Chrissy and Marcus, a toxic couple hiking to a picturesque lake. While Chrissy is obsessed with creating the perfect social media content, Marcus becomes increasingly frustrated with her inability to put down her phone. As they become lost in the dark forest, their arguments escalate and force them to confront the reality of their relationship. Visually, I used the changing forest, sunset, and darkness to reflect the progression of their relationship and the contrast between its superficial appearance and underlying tension.

EMERSON / PCA GBFA - FALL 2025
ROLES:
Animator
Editor
I was the creator of this short animation using procreate. This project originally stemmed from my love for horses, and knowing this, I knew I would be able to sit and continuously redraw each frame. I not only got to study the anatomy of how horses moved but also the way they interact with the world. Hence, the skittish demeanor of the horse in the beginning which then leads to the growing confidence as it is let into the open field which is also a testament to the fact that horses should not be cooped up and need to be able to run free.

This was a part of a large-scale promotion project for Thomas Edison High School’s career classes. I worked with a team of 15 filmmakers all divided among the 7 different class types. I was the lead for the Veterinary Technician Class which included two days of filming and editing after. This version is not the color graded version as there was a separate student who was in charge of that for all the films.
