projects i’ve written, filmed, and edited
a compilation of many moments of wisdom, serenity, and solitude across many farms during my 3 month work/stay trip to Australia and New Zealand at the end of 2024. I was met with a lot of unexpected transphobia at the first farm I stayed at. Vajra, who narrates this video, saved me and brought me to her safe heaven nestled in the Australian forest.
i recorded myself 50 days leading up to my top surgery date. During this time I was finishing up a film program in Paris and then traveled to visit family in Brazil and Argentina. Then finally landed at my dad’s home in miami, FL. This was a time filled with not only fear and uncertainty, but also the beginning of building a deep trust in myself.

for an experimental film class i took in paris in the summer of 2021. fed up with the heavy canon c200's and Black Magics, i decided to simply carry around my old lumix point and shoot and listen to the voice of paris. a sort of experimental mini doc if you will
a mini doc of the 10 days jacqueline and i spent visiting gabe who was studying abroad in Madrid. having gone to high school together, we get the pleasure to see how we've changed after so long of existing. at times it may appear as though adulting has slowly taken the spark out of us, but it is tender to see we have actually retained the silliness and playfulness that we still recognize in each other 10 years later. as an introvert, my favorite way to soak in my friends is to film them. "los pijos de Madrid" means "the spoiled kids of Madrid," which is what i always feel when being a tourist abroad. even though we try to be as respectful as possible, I can still imagine the spaniards around us sighing, "here come the annoying American kids."
