Oscillations
This is a short experimental film documenting a period in my life. This film was shot randomly over the course of about 2 years with no original intention to become a finished piece. Super8, 16mm, Color, B&W, 11 minutes.
Saint Francis High School
This musically driven piece is designed to showcase the philosophy, education, and opportunities at this private high school in Sacramento.
