Major project:

Angelina

Angelina is a poetic subjective documentary observing the ritualistic nature of my grandmother's life and how its routine is broken by moments of daydream. As these occur, reality is bent, taking us to a space between memory and the present, introducing a surreal and nostalgic quality to the ordinary.
