Playing With Gender
BW /Stereo /2007
"Who knew gender theory and the 1950's would go so well together" - Julia Serano
In this re-imagining of a 1950's educational film, young people on a picnic learn about gender, gender roles and transgendered identities. The film shows how gender is constructed and a multitude of gender identities that fall outside the boundaries of simply male or female.

Whatever Suits You
Color /Stereo /2006
This film parallels the process of transforming a suit into a dress with all the physical, mental, and emotional processes of changing genders.The tattered fabric, stitched and sewn together, becomes a visual metaphor for the realization and creation of a newly formed gender identity. Part autobiography, part documentary, part testimonial, the film sheds light on what it means to be transgendered.

Passage of an Afternoon
BW /Stereo /2006
Three minutes of casual daydream images. The film was shot as an experiment on a digital camera with a twenty second video mode. Segments were filmed in random sequence and edited together. The black and white images contrast the film's visual drama with its serene mood.

Merè Réve
Color /Silent /2002
Mere Reve flickers like a kaleidoscope convulsing through a sequence of memories. Childhood's fleeting moments become fragmentary, buried in a maze of frenetically passing time. The film is loosely based on the artist's dream about her mother's death.

The Optic Nerve
BW /Stereo /2003
A paparazzo pursues a desperate couple through a barren environment of imposing industrial and natural oppression, and like birds in a cage, there is no hope of escape. The musical score was inspired by radiator noise interfering with sleep.
