Marvelous Domain
This short film, titled Marvelous Domain, was an exercise in surrealist filmmaking in which I attempted to maintain a collaborative, flexible environment that allowed for spontaneous production and for curiosity to dominate, to liberate and elevate the filmmaking process as inspired by surrealist thinkers of the early twentieth century who used art to envision a…
Liberation Poetry Workshops
In spring 2022, I put on a series of three “liberation poetry workshops,” open to the public.
