Long and Short-Form Film
Directing, producing, scripting, and editing
The Annapolis Pottery
I was hired by the owners of The Annapolis Pottery to create a video showcasing their studio team’s process for making handmade ceramics. The video is intended to inform customers and audiences more broadly about the general steps of throwing pottery. This film demonstrates the amount of labor and skill it takes to work on a production scale.
This is an educational and promotional video for The Annapolis Pottery.
Streetz Media
At Streetz Media, I had the opportunity to work in a professional studio with expert gear. In doing so, I directed, produced, filmed, and edited a variety of video projects.
“Black Madonna”
I had the privilege of being an assistant editor for New York Times bestselling author Morgan Jerkins’ debut short film “Black Madonna.” The story follows a Black climate justice activist who discovers that she’s pregnant and grapples with the idea of bringing a child into our troubled world. This project allowed me to collaborate on a pre-established team comprised of women, LGBTQ+ people, and people of color.
The film premiered at NewFilmmakers Los Angeles (NFMLA) and the director’s cut has not been released yet.
Jessica Bird, Campus Detective
Jessica Bird, a college student who seems too mature for her age, is constantly working towards cracking her next case. Jessica is an aspiring detective, but she doesn’t want to be seen as a hobbyist any longer. In this film, Jessica gets the opportunity to investigate her biggest case yet - the murder of Professor David Xavier - in an attempt to boost her reputation from a low-stakes problem solver to a serious agent. Jessica Bird, Campus Detective, is a lighthearted and playful film that follows the lead heroine and her sidekick Isaac Fields as they work toward solving the murder.
Monumental Magazine
Monumental Magazine was founded in the summer of 2019, so recruitment was a top priority. When I became our Editor-in-Chief, I planned, produced, styled, directed, shot, and edited the marketing video below to promote our publication to potential new members who can continue the magazine’s legacy.
