Look

My Body is a Vessel for Dreams and Nightmares

I love to explore themes of girlhood in my work and wanted to capture something more haunting, paranoid, and fragmented about these years of adolescence. This experimental short film was my first time shooting on film (Super 8) and stars my sister Sala. It has an original musical score by JP Garcia.

One in Five

Taking a moment to breathe and just enjoy what is around you. Amongst the Trees is an immersive video experience that draws connections in nature.

Veganize Me

Inspired by Morgan Spurlock’s Super Size Me, we wanted to explore what it is like to eat a vegan diet for three weeks. Is it healthy, is it difficult, and can one find vegan alternatives on campus?

A Woman Knows Her Place

The Making of Not Too Late

How Do You Like It?

(3:47, Hanyu Hu)

The idea for this film originated in an interesting cultural shock that I experienced living in the U.S. The question “how do you like it?” sounds very pushy in Chinese culture, but it is very common in English conversation. The subtitle and monologue occur in multiple languages to create humor in a phrase that fails to communicate its real meaning.

Don’t Mean Broken

(4:16, Andrew Torbensen)

This music video features Michael Bruner’s song “Don’t Mean Broken,” as well as Torbensen’s artful camera work.
