As The Crow Flies
(directing/editing/writing/acting)
For my final capstone project at ETSU, I wrote and directed a narrative short film called As The Crow Flies. This film was selected by the following festivals in 2022: Lift-Off Filmmaker Sessions - hosted by Lift-Off Global Network, First-Time Filmmaker Sessions Hosted by @LiftOffGlobalNetwork, Student World Impact Film Festival, and Serbest International Film Festival (SIFF). As The Crow Flies was selected as a semi-finalist by Serbest International Film Festival and was an honorable mention at the Student World Impact Film Festival. This was a passion project and I always knew I wanted my final project to be a narrative fiction film. With the help of all my friends and professors at ETSU, I was able to create this film. I am so proud of the work that went into this film and enjoyed the opportunity that I had at ETSU to make a film like this. It was an incredible experience working on it with my friends and I hope those who watch this film enjoy it as much as the time we had making it.

Night Valley MoKindred
(Music Video)
(directing/editing/cinematography)
I worked on this project with artist Mokindred to create a visual for his new single Night Valley. He had an idea of themes he wanted to incorporate and I filmed a portion near Asheville, NC and used public domain footage from the prelinger archives on the internet archive website to find videos or films that matched the vision for the music video.

This is a promotion for a dance event at ETSU which I filmed for professor Cara Parker.
The Farm

The Farm is a project I worked on for my video poetry class. The inspiration came from growing up in rural Appalachia. I wrote a poem, did a voice, and created a guitar part that plays in the background. All the footage was obtained from an archived video website.
Totem - Mokindred (Music Video)
(directing/cinematography/editing)
I made a music video for the talented MoKindred (Tyler Moore). It was a lot of fun being able to create a fun project like this putting all my skills to the test as well as challenging me to be creative. Tyler asked me to make a video for his song Totem and we got together and collaborated on ideas on what would fit the song’s theme and tone. We shot everything in a day around Asheville, NC a week before Christmas 2023. I am extremely proud of how it turned out.

As part of the Langston Project, my role was to assist in creating a memorial to honor the first black students who graduated from ETSU and to showcase the history of Langston High School, a segregated school. As a team member, I contributed by directing, filming, and editing various videos to be included in the project.
