I create films about time, its passing, and the small details within daily human experience. I focus on specific behaviors and environments to capture the emotional and tactile details that make up seemingly banal activity. Inspired by slow cinema, landscape films, and anti-narratives, I employ a formally austere audio-visual approach to distill the physical world into a collection of minutiae. In doing so, the incremental changes of an environment start to feel monumental.

I aim to capture the psychological and physical experience of a specific moment in time and highlight the accumulation of behavior that makes it unique and worthy of consideration. In order to shift attention and give space to small details we otherwise might not see, I let reality govern how much time I give these details on screen. A character walks down the road and we see the entire walk play out to feel his exhaustion; an artist cleans individual pieces of an installation over and over, gradually revealing the toll the repetition has on her composure; breaking down the individual components of a jazz ensemble, we see each individual musician’s experience within the same piece play out separately. I create an awareness of the relationship between the camera and the subject, and the quirks and nuances of digital technology’s ability to capture reality perfectly. 

In challenging viewers to be present, slow down, and observe. My work encourages a connection to the physical components of life that are losing value in our fast-paced world.
