This short film uses archival footage ranging from 1940 to 1970, made and changed to tell the story of queer lives. The film is split into 3 parts, one telling the story of feeling like an outsider to the world, one where we question why we are treated so poorly, and the last storytelling about the stonewall riots. All three of these films originally tell of us a completely different story, but were altered using new dialogue or changed dialogue. I wanted to flip the script on these stories, mainly the second one which berated gay men for existing.

This short film follows me as I dream that I am transforming into strange, unorthodox things, at the snap of someone’s fingers. This was my first attempt at trying stop motion animation, and it was a long process, using over 1000 frames which took around 13 hours of nonstop photographing.

This short film follows a girl as she soon finds out that a paranormal stalker is watching her every move, teasing her any chance they get. This was the first film I ever shot at the University of Tampa, and I wanted to go all out. Working together with a small group, our biggest idea was the use of artificial color, to create a sort of out of reality experience.
