"Family Through Fire" is the 2022 Gonzaga University Film Festival Winner
It is a short documentary film created by Patrick Janiceck, Liz Hogan, and myself. This was for a documentary filmmaking class and was our cumulative project. Liz and Patrick are both from Colorado and felt inspired to tell the story of the Clark families' experience, which mirrors so many others, during the Boulder fires on December 30, 2021. I was responsible for storyboarding, research, interviewing, music selection, shot selection, and was the primary editor.
Riverhill Farm: A Succession Story - Briar Patch Food Co-Op
In this video I work with Briar Patch Food Co-Op, a local community owned grocery store in Grass Valley, CA, and Riverhill Farms to tell the story of the founders finding a successor to take over the responsibility of caring for the land and ensuring bountiful future harvests for the farm. I was the secondary and B-roll camera operator as well as the primary editor for this video.
NERVE - Archival Footage Documentary
As part of a documentary film class at Gonzaga University, we were tasked with creating a documentary about a historical event using entirely archival and stock footage. My partner Patrick Janiceck and I decided to focus on a tragic attack on the Tokyo subway carried out by cult Aum Shinrikyo. Our goal was to capture the unsettling nature of this organization and it's leader, prompting us to weave in songs, images, and recruitment videos from the cult. I was responsible for finding footage, sound editing, and visual editing.
