Journey through the shattered mind of Maya, whose grasp on reality fades as she processes memories of her best friend. The entirety of this film was made by just Isabel and me over the course of 4 months as our Senior Capstone film.

For this film, I was awarded the Rice Visual and Dramatic Arts Excellence Award in Film and Photography. RELEASED: April 2022

A short video satirizing the initial government response to the COVID Pandemic, all in the style of 1940s era propaganda.
