"the new Atlantis" 

digital video work using mixed-media and stop-motion digital animation made to explore and deal with the anxiety wrought by  man-made events masking as natural disasters; thinking about the issues surrounding South Louisiana’s vanishing wetlands, death by oil and increasing vulnerability to hurricanes due to oil & gas activities.

RECENT PROJECTS:

In Search of Hope at Hope Academy

A filmmaking project, through the Silence is Violence organization's "peace club" program at New Orleans' Hope Academy. I produced a short film, on the topic of violence in New Orleans, with a group of 8th grade students at this alternative school. The students wrote, directed, filmed and starred in the films. http://silenceisviolence.org/
