Made as part of my Experimental Film class at MSU. Everyone in the class had the opportunity to shoot some 16mm film on a Bolex camera. While most of the footage turned out great, there was a significant portion of black, unexposed film in the final scan. These portions stood out to me, almost like a blank canvas waiting to be painted on. Digital editing became my brush, and some beautiful imagery arose from the “waste” of film.

‘sir’ was made after discovering more about my gender identity. By turning a “male” gaze towards myself, I explore my relationship with masculinity and how that affects how I am perceived in the world. The voices of my family reflect a struggle with the idea of coming out to those who I love as well as those around me, as I find some sense of safety in my perceived maleness despite the discomfort and internal strife it may cause.

On October 22, 2020, I received what might be the worst call I could receive from my mother. A tumor was found in my younger brother’s abdomen. As soon as those words were uttered I was frozen. Numb. This film was made as an attempt to reconcile everything that was felt during that call. The audio is taken from various videos my brothers and I made when we were younger, where it was then heavily distorted and filtered.
