BIO
CONTACT
I am a narrative filmmaker based in Philadelphia, currently studying Film and Media Arts at Temple University. Raised in Baltimore and studied at the Baltimore School for the Arts, I draw from my background as a non-binary, queer, Asian American, and Caucasian artist to explore themes shaped by identity, community, and fear.
My work examines the anxieties experienced by LGBTQ+ individuals in America today, particularly under our current administration, which is boosting marginalization.
My upcoming project, Tread, discusses the rise of a distorted, weaponized form of Christianity that spreads fear rather than love and compassion. Through this film and in future work, I aim to challenge structures of hate through the genre of horror.
