Born in 1993 in Manchester Connecticut to a video store manager and a machinist. Attended school at University of Vermont. Went in to learn how to draw and came out an experimental filmmaker. Earned a Bachelor's in Studio Art and Film and Television Studies. Currently, works as a youth educator for film making and animation.
Shot this entirely on 16mm expanding on techniques I experimented with in my previous project, The Factory. It is my 4th film made completely on 16mm all with the same Bolex. I love the machine and I love the really intimate and vital connection that happens between maker and machine when using analog formats. All the film was hand processed as well. The hands on approach comes to me much more organically than otherwise. I vastly prefer making films on film than not.
