Waiting Room
The inspiration for Waiting Room hit me the moment I stepped into the cold home of SF Art and Film. This small room on 540 Alabama Street seemed like the perfect place to make a thoughtful and unsettling short film.
A Breath of Fresh Air
This is a montage about th freedom running, put together using footage and audio from artlist.com.
Bad Knight in Gotham Trailer
I began to work on this project sophmore year when I had the idea to make a batman movie told from the perspective of the villains. I had wanted to be a filmaker for a long time, and I thought instead of just waiting for adulthood to start my filmaking journey, why couldn't I just start it as a teenager?
Double or Nothing
This is a one shot film created during a school field trip. It won the first place award for the school film festival. We are so excited to share it!
In and Out: A Garbage Story
In this film, I have examined the destinations of our waste—specifically, what happens to the contents of our green, blue, and grey garbage bins. By enhancing our awareness of the journey our garbage takes, we, as individuals, can improve recycling practices and reduce the negative impacts on our environment.
What Airports Mean to Me
The airport is a place of great importance for me because it is where my dreams started. The airport has brought me to different parts of the world, in the past eight years of my immigration journey. All footage of the airport comes from me.
Sophia's Prom
Utilizing 2D animation on Clip Studio Paint, I depict the experience of a young girl experiencing prom. Animated to the song "Prom Dress" by Mxmtoon; I relate to this animated piece heavily, as I too have experienced times of loneliness and social hardship in high school as well.
Scenes From a Ghibli Movie
This animation reel, “Scenes From a Ghibli Movie,” contains four animations I completed throughout 2023. I have always been fascinated with the film composition of Studio Ghibli movies—their whimsically mute colors and a magical simplicity so grounded in reality. Studio Ghibli sparingly uses computer animation techniques, instead illustrating by hand with acrylic.
I'VE HEARD IT BOTH WAYS | Animatic
This is an animatic centrally focusing on digital art and how I can express myself in only one color range. Song is from the Psych Musical and is sung by James Roday Rodriguez, Maggie Lawson, and Timothy Omundson.
Danville Chocolates
Danville Chocolates is a fun documentary taking the audience on a behind the scenes look at the local chocolate store. It teaches how different candies are made and how the buisiness runs.
The Creative Process
I couldn't think of a plot as I was going through a massive writers block at the time and I decided that instead of continuing to try and push through the block, I would use it as motivation for my film itself as an attempt to capture what I went through with some additional comedic (hopefully) bits.
Short Film: Relentless
I made this short film with the intent of sharing a little bit about an aspect of life that means a lot to me. Playing basketball is a part of my identity, and I have been playing for the last 7 years of my life at a competitive level.
COLD
I’ve had the idea for a film about a woman freezing alone in her home for a while. Despite her efforts, she is unable to warm up. I thought it would be an interesting challenge to film something in the dark, and I had some difficulties but it made me be more intentional with how I used lighting.
