2023 Submissions
Wild Man
We wrote, shot, and edited this film in 8 hours as part of the annual Marin School of the Arts One Day Film Challenge. We wanted to create something witty and unique. Our film is about a man named Tim who flees the constrictive walls of society for a more peaceful live in the wild.
After Dark
This film is about a girl waiting for her friend at a dark playground. She is haunted by a mysterious figure, and as more details are revealed, she begins to fear for her life.

While making my horror film, which is about lost footage, I have been struck by the ability of artwork to convey fear and tension in a way that words alone cannot.
If One Wakes
Inspired by Emily Dickinson's poem, "Dreams--are well--but Waking's better," this short film critiques societal awareness and consciousness through the dichotomy between dreams and wakefulness, day and night, that's been flipped on its head, where intimidating, perhaps terrible, yet undeniable realities of our world are preferable to artificial, misleading dreamscapes.
Stress Stages
Stress is complicated your either able to deal with it or it really hits you. My short film shows the different stage that you can take through stress, for this film it would be for a high school student like myself. The two side to side mini films show the difference in a student’s beginning of the week to a students end.
Wings of a ButterFly
I created an animated short about a butterfly who desperately wants to alter themself in order to resemble other people they finds attractive.
Season Recap 2022
I shot, edited, and color-graded it to make this piece really something special. The song gives it an emotional spin and makes it a unique sports reel. I also made sure it had a storytelling factor to it.
Sea, Swallow Me
This was a group project. We went to Fisherman's Wharf, Hyde Street Pier, and paid $15 dollars to tour ancient boats. We filmed there. We wanted to tell a ghost story of sorts. One that would reference the seafaring history of San Francisco, the globalism of another, more time-consuming era.
Natural Internet
My film is titled, "Natural Internet." I created, produced and am the sole actor in this film. The setting is in Marinwood, my neighborhood, located in the nature portion of my neighborhood that contains a creek and many beautiful trees.
Time of Your Life
This short montage film was my first ever created film. I wanted to invoke this feeling of excitement and energy within the viewers. I tried to do this through my use of music and selection of different exciting clips.
Rumah Ke Rumah
My short film is a passion type of film. Where it's about when I arrived here in San Francisco from Jakarta, Indonesia where I was raised for 10 years. This idea of me and my brother moving back to San Francisco (because I was born in SF), was already discussed since I was in the 6th grade.
Dusk Till Dawn
This piece is short film that aims to capture the beauty, life, complexity, and vibrancy of nature in simple photograph-like shots.
Search for Compassion
My artwork deals with my loneliness at a new high school during my first semester there. Even though I attend school on a tele-presence robot, people really don't notice me at all. At the end I ask my fellow students to show compassion to me and other kids like me.
Coyote Coffee Docu Ad
As a documentary filmmaker, there is a sense of freedom in knowing that what classifies a film as a documentary is so subjective.
