Golden Gate Park
As a senior project I was assigned to create a passion project. My mind immediately went to film, and I decided to create films about a city that I love, San Francisco. The film is part of a visual album I'm creating about San Francisco.
INTERLINKED
Through this film I wanted to convey my perception about how an alternate reality would look or work! My short film follows one character and their life, from two different realities/dimensions.
Do the Dishes
This was a very small project, with a simple idea. It took one day of shooting and one day of editing. Going into this project, I had the goal to make it straight to the point, and wanted to experiment with color grading to separate what was in his head and what was in reality.
Grim Memories
A story about the reality of death, and the importance of accepting, and moving on.

9 out of 10 Dentists Agree
They say nine out of ten dentists agree, but why not all ten? This short is not only a gut-busting romp, it's also director James "Jamie" Danger Pemberton's first foray into full-on screenwriting. A colorful cast of dentistry awaits 2 of your senses this summer. Enjoy what happens when corporate work ethic meets foolhardy apathy in 9 out of 10 Dentists Agree.
Birthday Girl
My film is called "Birthday Girl." I filmed, directed, and acted in it myself. It is set in a house on a quiet street using both the street and the interior of the house. The purpose of this film was to showcase growing into adulthood and leaving teenagehood. Through the use of the character “Girl” and the masked figure, “Body”.

The Impact
After getting hit by a car last April, I've struggled with the recovery. Although my scars are now gone, the trauma remains. I used animation to help recover, allowing me to retell the story in my own words. "The Impact" offers an insight into my train of thought.
We'll Meet Again
This was the film that really inspired me and my partner to advance our skills. This was our realization... we can do this. We can make things that make people say, "wow". As high school students, we are so proud to call this our first official video. Thank you for taking the time to appreciate our art.
Alice
Alice is a film which outlets my history with divorced parents and coming to terms with the loss of a loved one. Taking inspiration from emotions and memories, I put together a piece which decribes the feeling of making the hard choice of standing up for yourself. It is a film about building the courage to end bullying even in domestic settings.
An Immigrant's Tale
This clip is two scenes from my documentary, “An Immigrant’s Tale”, in which I dive deeper into my parents’ immigration story and compare and contrast their childhoods to my brother’s. I made this film for my school’s Junior Fellowship program, in which four students from the junior class were selected to complete a self-directed learning experience over the summer.
Us Without Me
"Us Without Me" is a music video that plays under a lyrical song composed by an indie artist named Grentperez. This being my first story-telling music video, I went into this project inexperienced. Learning how to plan against the sun and structure the clips onto the timeline while I edit was a struggle.
A Musical Elysium
This film is a visual manifestation of a song a song I wrote, produced and recorded. The song is a spiritual homage to God and what I

With the rise of artificial intelligence, it’s all too easy for anyone with an internet enabled device to create works of art in mere seconds. Thus, I wanted to demonstrate through the medium of film that not all things on the internet are what they seem to be.
