Where Is Home?

TRAVEL FILM  ·  2025


I spent years dreaming about a city I had never visited. For my 21st birthday, I finally went to find out if New York could feel the way it had always felt in my imagination. Where Is Home?  Is about chasing a place, finding pieces of myself along the way, and realizing that sometimes a dream isn't meant to be the end of your journey, but part of discovering where you belong.

Cool Like That

CHARACTER STUDY  ·  2024



One afternoon walking in Rideau, I noticed a skater in his forties practicing tricks in the middle of the city. Something about his presence caught my attention, so I introduced myself and told him I thought he was cool. We exchanged Instagrams, and a week later, we spent the day skating and shooting together. A spontaneous encounter that became one of my favourite projects.

Negative Space

VISUAL AND AUDITORY CONCEPT  ·  2023


Being back in school, seeking external validation after taking a gap year, was one of the most overwhelming periods of my life. Listening to music became one of the few ways that I could disconnect from reality. Through film, I captured the moment the outside world fades away, leaving only music, my thoughts, and a space to breathe.

A Woman's World

CREATIVE CONCEPT  ·  2023


The song is all it took to spark an idea. I heard James Brown singing and immediately started seeing the video in my head. Three men, dressed in black, moving through the frame as the song proudly declares that this is a man’s world. But then the lyrics shift, and so does the picture. I wanted to play with that contrast and let the song itself guide the story, rather than overthink it.
