"Heirlooms in Bloom" traces multidisciplinary artist Dashaunae Marisa's journey as she breathes life into forgotten ancestors. Set against the blooming landscapes of Los Angeles, this short film ponders how care and preservation-whether for a flower or a legacy-can honor the richness and resilience of Black life.

"Tending to the Soul" tells the story of Freedom Farm Azul- a queer/black owned farm doing restorative justice work in Alabama, on property originally owned by Indigenous people. The story follows Jasmyn- the founder and proprietor as they continue to use their voice and ample ability to affect change on the larger scale in the community around them.

This video is in promotion of Kitfo TV, a brand new streaming platform specializing in serving Ethiopian and Eritrean creators. When speaking with Denkinesh, their founder and Forbidden Fruit Productions, I found that the concept of shared food/ideas shared across the table kept appearing.

This mockumentary short film tells the story of Tonya, an egomaniacal studio executive who gathers a ragtag group of writers to reboot a popular IP. She ends up butting heads with Khari, the son of the studio head, and hijinks ensue while they clash over what makes a good movie.

Based on a popular Ethopian song, Langano tells the story of a young woman finding love at the beach. My main goal while shooting this was to capture the whimsical nature of the song while employing Super 8 film for the "memory" sections.
