Sin Gravedad/ Without Gravity (2022)


      A complex and meditative observational piece in hopes to convey the
gravity and nebulous aspects of grief.





La Lupita (2019)

La Lupita is a short film shot on my mobile phone and Sony FS7 during a week
long visit home to Southern California while living in New York during film
school.  The film addresses the loss of belonging, confronting mother-daughter
relationships, and resurfaced childhood wounds.  This piece aims to connect with
those that remain bound by their own pain as sexual assault survivors.




Dear White Girl (2018)
      Documenting the 2018 Women’s March in New York, this candid piece points
to entitlement, white fragility, and


feminism from a brown girl’s perspective.
