Rossum

Recently we wrapped on writer/director Michael Roberson’s short film Rossum.

I worked on set as AC, my husband Michael as the still photographer (his lovely image is seen below and if you follow the Rossum link above you’ll find more). I am really excited to see this whole project come together at the premiere in October! Stay tuned, I’ll have some behind the scenes footage. Until then check out the FB page. Oh, did I mention Michael and I had the opportunity to act in the commercial which appears in this film. Really terrific stuff!

Sucha Pussy

Like “Semiotics”, this bit was inspired, shot and edited in an evenings time. Some ideas you sit on for a while, and others arrive complete.

Semiotics

A ode and response to Martha Rosler’s “Semiotics of the Kitchen”. This an an excerpt of a piece intended to be shown on loop.

Director Interviews

The Northwest Film Center hosts the Portland International Film Festival annually. During PIFF 34, I had the opportunity to interview some of the local, Oregon, filmmakers who had work screening at the Festival. Michael Roberson helped me with the camera work and contributed to the conversation. We interviewed Aaron Katz (COLD WEATHER), Matthew Lessner (THE WOODS) and Peter Richardson (HOW TO DIE IN OREGON):
