At the the 77th University Film & Video Association Conference, I'll present the workshop "The Filmmaker's Guide to Creatively Embracing Limitations," with co-creator Bill Pace of Seton Hall University, where we'll speak about themes in our upcoming book of the same title.

I'm looking forward to entering production on the short Documentary The Dog Star. The film is an autobiographical examination of the effects of time and location on adult perceptions of self: Expanding on the myth of Laelaps and the Teumessian Fox, the film explores whether an identity can ever be fully formed when strong facets of everyday life are in opposition to one another.

In February I received The Massachusetts Cultural Council Cultural Sector Pandemic Recovery Grant. The grant was part of a unique state-wide artist-supporting initiative and will serve in support of the documentary The Dog Star. I'm deeply appreciative and look forward to moving forward with the additional support.

This summer, a text I have been working on with colleague Bill Pace of Seton Hall University, will be published by Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group: The Filmmaker's Guide To Creatively Embracing Limitations is a multi-prong approach to finding angles of strength from limitation in filmmaking, and features interviews, historical context, and exercises for the emerging maker in pre, pro, and post production. I'm super excited and looking forward to sharing this work, along with its beautiful cover designed by the awesome Kaitlyn Gernatt. Pre-order details below.

This faculty supporting grant will help further production of my upcoming film The Dog Star. I'm very grateful to be chosen as one of the recipients, and utilizing the funds to further the vision of this project.
