(Jenni) 2019
This self portrait is an experimental film made of mostly stock footage and royalty free music, also featuring "yellow" by the Indonesian singer, Rich Brian. The series of black and white clips are a call to my age of innocence. The quirky titles popping up grazed over basic information, until it was awkwardly disrupted and left as if unfinished in post production. This represents a big change in my life. at this point the cheerful music is cut and sped up, getting more anxious as people leave and more cigarettes are smoked. The film overall goes from light and whimsical, to unsettlingly quick and anxiety-inducing. As the chaos peaks, the film transitions into a state of depression and the flower is fully blooms.
Walking in the city (2020)
This cheesy training video is a commentary on the dangers of being a woman while walking around the city. We follow the narrator, chad, as he advises an unnamed woman on what she should wear and do while walking around the city alone. the satire and the mediocre quality of the film and writing is meant to make the viewer realize how absurd it is that there are so many factors to consider when walking alone as a woman.
cast:
narrator Sam Bulleit

This is an experimental film that I made with code processing and video editing, Featuring "paper planes" by MIA.

This film follows the childish fun you can have from folding paper planes, but along with the frustration and chaos of not being able to fold it correctly.
