Experimental Documentary | Expanded Cinema

Deeply influenced by my upbringing on Hawaiʻi Island, my ancestral cultures, and my studies in socially engaged art and political ecology, I approach projects through the 'ōlelo no'eau (Hawaiian adage ) -- Nānā i Ke Kumu -- “Look to the source.” These foundations have given me the framework to understand, decipher, and confront the themes I (re)produce.

Currently based on Hawaiʻi Island, I have previously worked with Gloria Steinem as her Executive Assistant, as a freelance filmmaker, as a programming intern for American Documentary, and as a production intern for the John Grade Studio. 

In 2019, I received the Flaherty Film Seminar Fellowship, the Hawai’i Doc Club Scholarship in 2021, and the 5th Wall Studio residency in 2023.
