MBTA "Daydreams" | Fall 2018
|
Partnering with Emerson College, Boston's transit authority, the MBTA, requested a number of short 15-second videos to be created for the entertainment of commuters across the greater Boston area. The videos simply show people falling into daydreams on the T while listening to music, reading a book, playing with a toy, etc, showing the T as a transit system we all use on the daily. Slated to screen on the triptych monitors in all T stations, over a million eyes will see these videos daily once they are airing.

My Vote | Fall 2018
|
Many college students are passionate about the state of the country, yet so many didn't know how to make their voices heard simply because of the complicated process known as absentee voting. Working with Owen Elphick as writer and director, this project brought about a catchy, interesting step-by-step music video showing college students how to apply for an absentee ballot and send it in so they can be represented by senators, congressmen, governors, and more following these midterm elections. The video was tweeted out by Emerson College and supported the website www.voteremote.us.

Shadow Minds | Spring 2018 - present
|
Picked up by Emerson Independent Video, Shadow Minds tells the story of an urban college campus where students' fears and anxieties suddenly manifest as shadowy, murderous doppelgangers. Following Elliot, Jay, Em, and Gwen, this tumultuous web series features three webisodes in its first season that feature a portrayal of symptoms of mental illness that is not only accurate but also sensitive. Season one recently won at the 38th EVVY Awards at Emerson College for Outstanding Field Television Series!

Why Tell Stories?"Stories are the atoms that make up our creative world. We build them up to create histories for ourselves, for countries, for fantasies, for movements...
And I am one of those builders." My passions fall into the realm of stories that improve our world. Gender, sexuality, mental health, wellness... These are all topics that need to come to the forefront in order to create change. As a media maker, I take my work seriously. My projects, ranging from those with the student organization Emerson Independent Video to those with my personal production company Alethic Pictures, all make a point of touching on these themes (subtly or otherwise). I want to help people by moving those who can take action. |
