"The Making of a Perfect Short Film”

“The Making of a Perfect Short Film” is a micro-mockumentary about the chaos behind creativity. I wanted to exaggerate what it feels like when a simple film project starts spiraling — the late nights, the strange choices, the unhinged commitment — and show it from the perspective of the people around me. I used talking-head interviews, surveillance-style clips, and abrupt documentary cuts to tell the entire story in a fast, chaotic format. The short runtime is part of the comedy: the whole film collapses before it can ever really begin.

"Things We Leave Behind"

Who are you? A local detective tries to crack the cold case of a graffiti artist who just wants to leave something behind. Their meetup leaves them questioning who they really are without each other.

"Who We Are"

My video is meant to portray the turmoil of emotions that follow the death of a loved one. It begins with an unanswered call going to voicemail which is then the voice over for the entirety of the video. It consists of clips from my life and the overall message is that death doesn’t mean someone is truly gone.

"In Between"

This video explores my experience growing up biracial and navigating my Vietnamese identity in predominantly white environments. Through the creation of a dragon I painted, I reflect on belonging, cultural reconnection, and the impact of my father’s immigration story on my own sense of self. The piece combines my own personal experiences with visual storytelling to show how identity can be shaped both by distance and rediscovery.

“A Quintessential High School Story”

A young girl grapples with the stress of high school commitments.
