  • Don’t Forget The Water

    A phone conversation sets the diasporic table as a disembodied figure prepares Qahwah Arabi / Arabic Coffee.

Using these flaws as a prompt, the communication between a mother and a daughter considers ambiguity as a source of embodied knowledge.

  • Before Us

    “Before Us” is a feature-length documentary that reflects on 1960s counterculture, adoption practices in North America, and changing family structures.

A movie traumatized by time, which is the passing of time and all that inhabits it. Movies play into that, their…

    BEWARE takes sound bites from the 1961 anti-homosexual propaganda film Boys Beware and flips it on its head. The hacked-up narration serves as the voice over to a barrage of glitched intimacies making the homosexual monster more fun than frightening.
