I participated in the 48hr film festival. Our genre was Film Noir, and I was an assasin disguised as a ‘power walker’. The opening is completely gratuitous and ridiuclous. That was the point! I look back and remember how much fun and intense it was to make films and that I knew I loved every part of it. The crew and cast were fantastic.
Inside Out Still Images »
Stills from a dance for camera piece made in 2006. Inside Out was originally a live performance/installation piece where we danced around works by Joseph Cornell, and Basquiat in the home of Contemporary Art collector Lester Marks.
Marks, was so pleased with the performance that he invited us back into his home to film it. Laura Harrison, the cinemetographer and editor brought new life to the piece, as well as posterity for a magical event.
Undustrial is a dance for camera piece I made as a 2nd year graduate student at Arizona State University. It is an abstract piece that contains an industrial element and a woman who is undone.

Preparing Defense
I’m resting and recuperating post-unveiled performance. It was a success and I look forward to continuing Guerrilla Dance Attack.
I’m currently reflecting and writing. My final document will be completed soon and I defend it on April 23. Wish me luck and hopefully the candidacy next to MFA will be removed.
