Look Book - India
If someone asked me what my style is, this would be it. Long takes. Natural Audio. Minimal Camera Movement. Observational.
A documentary-style video using visuals from my time visiting India. I traveled for 2 weeks alone after attending a friend's wedding in Delhi. Locations - Jaipur, Goa, and Varanasi, but most are from Varanasi. All shots were taken between December 26, 2023, and January 5, 2024. Shot handheld on a Sony a7riii and DJI Air 2s.
Letter from Mom
I made this piece alongside Moksh Krisnan for our class at The New School. This section of the work emulates the film “News from Home” (1977) by Chantel Akerman. Featured both our mothers, Moksh’s speaking in Hindi and my mother speaking in Russian.
Self-Portrait
This video was part of my application while applying for the documentary film program at The New School. The assignment was to create a 3-4 minute self-portrait. It was difficult to find a theme to go with, but often the simple answer is the best. I focused on what grounds me, the place I call home. Vermont.
New Zealand
This is a much older video, but I don’t think I will ever have it in my heart to take it off my website. As a gift before his children graduated from college and would no longer have as much free time to see him, my father took each of us on a trip to any place of our choosing for two weeks with just him (no other siblings, parents, or friends). For my trip, I decided that we would adventure around New Zealand with almost no plan at all. Thank you, Dad for such a memorable journey.
