Cinema Reel: A collection of my more recent work, primarily featuring projects in documentary
Ghost Lands: Following the meandering Harriet Tubman historical byway, Ghost Lands reflects on the the natural and unnatural infrastructure of the marshlands and forests of Marylands Eastern Shore. From the farm she was raised on to the marshes she trapped muskrats in, this film contemplates of what we can understand about our shared past when we visit these spaces.
Roadside Elegiac: Greg Harbac is the director of the Highway Fatality Marker Program at the American Legion Post No. 14 in Bozeman MT. Greg and his team erect crosses at the site of every highway fatality fatality in the Bozeman Area. The goal of the project is highway safety, to stop future accidents from occurring in the same place . Yet these markers often come to symbolize much more than just a need for safety. Roadside Elegiac is a film which considers both the energy which goes into maintaining these crosses, as well as their broader meaning in the world.
