SHIFT- Interactive Film and Thesis project
Using digital 2D animation software as well as 3D programs and game development software, Shift takes a look at how social polarization can affect our personal lives. Using the genre of speculative fiction as a vessel, this project pushes polarization to the extreme in a future setting and follows two individuals and their experiences in this polarized world. Shift ultimately prompts the user to critically think about their own relationship with polarization and how they might change the way they interact with others to create a brighter, less polarized future.

River
This is the work-in-progress of a 1 minute 2D hand-drawn animated short film done for my Fall 2019 studio. We were given the prompt "there is no drinkable water left," and the short had to be science fiction. This short film, titled "River," observes what would occur if all water was owned by one corporation.

Not Alone
This is a hand-drawn 2D short animated film created for my Fall 2020 Graduate Studio. The prompt was Hidden Histories and Untold Truths. I chose to focus on the third and lesser known astronaut of the Apollo 11 mission and explore the way the media portrays him as "lonely" even though he says he wasn't.
