It is happening all across America-rural landowners wake up one day to find a lucrative offer from an energy company wanting to lease their property. Reason? The company hopes to tap into a reservoir dubbed the "Saudi Arabia of natural gas." Halliburton developed a way to get the gas out of the ground-a hydraulic drilling process called "fracking"-and suddenly America finds itself on the precipice of becoming an energy superpower.

Two siblings share an unhealthy life full of games and codes; however, their peaceful life is interrupted when a doppelgänger appears out of nowhere.

Two years ago, Josh Fox introduced us to hydraulic fracturing with his Oscar®-nominated exposé Gasland. Now this once-touted energy source has become a widely discussed, contentious topic. In his follow-up, Fox reveals the extreme circumstances facing those affected by fracking, from earthquakes to the use of federal anti-terror psychological operations tactics. Gasland Part II is the definitive proof that issues raised by fracking cannot be ignored for long.

Three actors audition to play the Palestinian-Jewish actor and activist Juliano Mer-Khamis, a former IDF paratrooper who defiantly identified as “100% Palestinian and 100% Jewish”. During a tense rehearsal meant to determine which of them is most suited to authentically portray Juliano Mer-Khamis, the three Julianos find their sense-of-self fractured and disrupted.

The Truth Has Changed is a solo monologue which traces the arc of American propaganda and misinformation from 9/11 to Trump from the perspective of the front lines.

An experimental documentary that takes as its starting point the police composite sketch, playing with the sketching process in order to investigate the connections between language, visuality, and memory in our most intimate relationships.

An elliptical, layered psychological horror that brings together multiple storylines which intersect in complex ways. Embedded within these narrative threads are topics salient to the documentary/non-fiction field: the afterlives of images of war and their fictional representation; the potential tokenization of subjects, stories, and makers by the industry; and the ethical dilemmas arising from the commercialization of the stock footage market.

Mountain Fire Personnel is an experimental documentary that explores a wild fire near an evacuated mountain tramway in Southern California. Using amateur footage, internet media and professional camerawork, the film surveys an area occupied by firemen and California State prisoners.

3 Minutes in America is an experimental narrative criss-crossing the continental US. The film presents a romance unfolding amid an array of contemporary phenomena including vaccine production, basketball games, a fracking well explosion and illicit communications on a government server.

This is a feature film that I created in 48 hours, using a single video clip and my voice.
