Memoria 2021
An inversion of sound design and narrative. Highlighting changes of sound that embed themselves into the film, making its presence felt while the narrative slowly simmers into the consciousness. Temporal and emotional fragments begins to melt together into landscapes, seeping back into the earth and hidden in plain sight. But, sometimes things are better left unearthed.

Cousin Jules acts as a cinematic link between observational documentaries and more sensory anthropologic examinations.

Warsaw Bridge 1990
A film that ditches “traditional narrative” for an impassioned expounding on the love and capabilities of film. Warsaw Bridge unravels akin to a martyoshka doll, as the film’s structure continually offers narratives within narratives. Self-referential in delivery to deconstruct what it means to derive purpose, incept creativity, and conceptualize meaning from art.
The film demands to maintain a coherence of mood in its sardonic yet formalist approach. This keeps everything in an engaging package despite…

Instructions for a Light and Sound Machine 2005
An all-out assault on the medium of film. Baring the nature of the relationship between audience and frame. Voyeurs peering through the window that traps characters in inescapable worlds of manipulation. The deconstruction of sound and light is a malformed reality, one that spews oblique violence from the core of cinema.
