“Jubilant Vex” is a Bay Area-based dance and horror film I directed and edited in 2022. It is inspired by the collective stress and mental toll created by the pandemic. 

Films

It is a cathartic release inspired by our desire for connection and self-expression…which sometimes stands in conflict with our concern to protect ourselves from the unknown dangers of this deadly virus. This project was shot in San Francisco and was a collaboration with dancer Kim Ip and musicians Bastien Goat and Amma Ateria.

This is my first horror style film, and I am grateful for the experience to try something very different with my work. I am also proud to say that this film was included in the Dance Thrill Fest II at the Roxie Theatre in San Francisco. Enjoy!

“Historia” Music Video

Films, Music, music video

I recently had the great fortune of directing and editing this music video for local multilingual artist Razteria.

It’s been a childhood dream of mine to shoot something at the historic Hotel Mac in Pt. Richmond, and so I’m thrilled we were able to make it happen on such short notice. It was also great fun to experiment with some new motion graphic techniques and a 1920s aesthetic too. Being able to do some period-driven phone improv was also a nice surprise for me too.

I am also honored to find out recently that this film was selected by the Prague Music Video Awards for their Autumn 2023 showcase.

Here is a video I shot earlier this year that was for The 54th Annual CIIS Commencement Ceremony of the California Institute of Integral Studies (CIIS).

For this video, I was lucky enough to take the lead on the majority of the pieces, including professor and student speeches, an original music video for the band AstraLogik, and a short choir piece as well. Hope you enjoy the ceremony & congrats to all the graduates!

Here is an intro video I made for a good friend of mine, Jenny Mohr, who is a Transformational Intimacy Coach working primarily in the Bay Area. This video was a special one for me as one of my main goals in my video work is to align with people and organizations who are connected to fields like psychology, trauma recovery, and therapy.

I just want to give a huge thank you to everyone who showed up for the opening reception of my art show, this Tuesday night. It was a really special time to reconnect with some old friends and family and meet some new folks as well. I think with COVID these kinds of live events are more appreciated now than ever. Don’t we all want a little break from the Zoomverse?

If you happen to be in Mill Valley this Spring, feel free to stop by, and follow this link here for more info and to register for the free show. Here are some photos by the dynamic duo of Karen Winokan & her partner Gianni Restani.

Performance

Performance

I’ve sought out shooting shows, musicals, and dance pieces much more in recent years; from BTS work to live stills. Coming from this world myself makes me have a natural affinity for these spaces and the special energy they hold…also working with great performers like these ones makes the experience of shooting photos even more collaborative and playful.

Journalism

Journalism

Working in photojournalism, I’ve been lucky enough to shoot a variety of powerful stories for different Bay Area publications. Some of the topics I’ve covered include natural disasters, the homelessness crisis, and community heroes. I love the unpredictable nature of this work, and how I am allowed to learn something new with each assignment.
