The documentary follows the late Haitian spoken word artist Marie Michaelle, exploring her challenges as an immigrant in America, particularly with racism and colorism. As co-producer, director, and cinematographer, I collaborated with a small team to guide the project from concept to post-production, integrating archival, stock, and multi-format footage to weave together her stories from Haiti and her life in Providence and Boston.

The Wall
I conceptualized and created an 8-bit style animated video featured in Emerson's New Media Art Installation in Downtown Boston. Projected on a large scale, the video comments on the political and social implications of the proposed wall by Donald Trump. The visual metaphor of a vibrant scenery gradually being obscured by a looming brick wall, symbolizes the isolation and separation that arise from division, urging viewers to reflect on the impact of barriers.
