This is Important!
I created "This is Important!" at a film camp this summer. I was thinking a lot about the pressure that my peers and I feel to do well academically, get into the "perfect" school, and manage to stay cool on top of it all.
Under the C
"Under the C": From enemies to lovers was quite a meticulous and detail-oriented process. First, we created the storyboard: writing down the sequence of events that I wanted to portray in my claymation, and sketching them out.
BAPS Temple
Hinduism is a religion that many of us know, but there is a lot about Hinduism that many of us do not know. An example of that could be the many different Gods and incarnations of Gods, the history of how it was created, present day practice, culture and so on. One of the main places of worship for a Hindu is at a temple.
Don’t Trust Her
Inspired by Hitchcock's lighting style in Psycho, I wanted to create a film that highlights unreliable characters as well as mystery. Writing and directing a thriller mystery is very outside of my comfort zone and I wanted to test my abilities.
Clownin’
My very first solo directing and screenwriting gig turned to life, Clownin' is not just a short film but something that I now will be grater in the future. A starting point for what has yet to come. I do believe that this story can speak out to most in just a grand and what some might say as ridiculous(but in a good way).
Cool Chicken Facts
A film about chickens, made in two weeks at an art summer camp. Chickens are really underrated animals, and often reduced to just food. As someone who had pet chickens before, I wanted to show that they have lives, personalities, and can be affectionate too!
Repurposed
The main character is a passionate nature photographer who initially is frustrated by the litter that gets in the way of his shots and also takes away from his enjoyment of being in nature. He then makes a personal transformation to help the greater good of society by making the most of the trash left behind by others.
Angel Island: Gateway to the West
During my childhood, I viewed Angel Island as a "getaway" and place of recreation. It was not until I studied U.S. History that I began to understand Angel Island's darker past. I feel it is important to spread awareness about the inequities that took place there, so that we avoid similar instances of discrimination in the future.
Atlas
My team and I were inspired by the sci fi genre. We wanted to make a film that included robots, and had plot twists. While making the project, we put a lot of effort into the set design, visuals, casting and lighting of the film, and during post-production, while editing, we paid attention to the sound design.
Internationally Famous
Think of this movie as a commentary on capitalism mixed with a Jackie Chan martial arts demonstration. Think of it as 2001 meets the Big Lebowski. Think of this film as the culmination of a 100 Movies Bucket List poster, boiled into a soup.
The Nice Rich Chair
Some friends had grouped up together so I did something myself. I had 3 hours to edit and record because the editing software was in my class. I then began recording using a friend's water bottle and chair.
