ABOUT
Who gets to tell whose story? Why does representation matter? How can I fully acknowledge my positionality and responsibilities as a documentarian? What does accountability look like? Those are some of the questions that I continue to pose in my filmmaking practice. My journey thus far taught me the importance of rigorous introspection that challenges my own preconceptions as well as prevalent conventions of story and form. The inquisitive researcher and the creative practitioner merge on a path of discovery and self-reflection, generating new understandings of visual storytelling and the creation of subversive narratives.
