End Of Story
Part introspective free-fall, part homage to the filmmakers who nurtured me, this movie uses several series created in the last two years as material to consider the powers of context, order, and sensory overload in considering a story.

RUN!
RUN! is a queer, experimental, anti-war film. Production began in the summer of 2017, during Trump’s escalation of nuclear war and shortly after he announced his transgender military ban. While many mainstream LGBT organizations and their allies committed to fight against the trans military ban, RUN! is aligned with radical queer activists who have responded with critiques of the US military for their violence around the globe, destruction of the environment, and the trauma inflicted on service members and veterans.
