ABOUT the short films:

A WALK IN THE PARK (Micro)

AWITP overlays a piece of prose about struggle and resilience. This is where we are introduced to our winged faceless woman.

COUNTERMAND

A heart playing piano is a haunting and beautiful image that adds to the film's dreamlike quality. Created in October 2023 in response to lives being destroyed, innocent people and children being murdered, like inconsequential cannon fodder. Countermand was a wish, a wish made in vain.

COUNTERMAND (verb)
1.revoke or cancel (an order).
The order to strike shall be countermanded

CONFIT POTATOES

Inspired by the Refuge for Resurgence by Superflux - a multispecies dining art installation which was part of the Biennale Architettura, La Biennale Di Venezia 2021. At the time, I wondered what would happen if there was a real multispecies dinner party… what exactly would they eat? And who exactly would still be around to enjoy dessert by the time the final course was served? This micro film takes place decades after that dinner party.

REHEARSAL

This piece focused on the technical blending of motion capture dance performance with traditional game engine fight animations in a way that wouldn't scream 'this was created in a games engine'

LIMBS+WINGS

A visceral piece that explores themes of transformation, identity, and the sentient condition.
