Where TED Talk, sob story, and cottagecore collide.

​

​Fred has a lot on his mind. The origins of the universe, for starters. The fabric of space-time, too. The formation of the Earth, plate tectonics, the fossil record, gravitational waves, dark matter, winding valley roads, campfires, pottery cafes—the list goes on and on. There’s also the matter of the giant salty egg, the man in the comfy blue chair, and the burning question: “Is this good? What I’m doing? With my time?”

Playing Fields is a youth-driven, outdoor, participatory sound performance that takes place on a local field. Created using interviews with youth ages 13-17 about ownership and belonging, this aural performance comes from communities around the world (Dublin, Hong Kong, Whitehorse, Richmond) that have experienced some form of colonization, and uses sport as an entry point.

What is humanity's place in an infinite cosmos? Are we alone, or is there life elsewhere? Who, in the end, has left the light on?

An effervescent, hybrid work, Bouée explores the absurd space between humanity's everyday anxieties and the potential of its interstellar ambitions. ​Using live cameras, (sort of) sci-fi movie-esque tricks, scale models and fishing line, Bouée is technologically imposing and deeply relatable, incorporating a score that bounces between a retro 8-bit sound and languid Patsy-Cline-like ballads.

Look at Me is a heartfelt exploration of the complexities of self-image and the pressures of societal expectations, particularly within the entertainment industry. As a fictional autobiography, it draws from personal experiences to illuminate universal themes of identity, mental health, and the courage required to confront one's inner struggles. The film offers a powerful commentary on the journey toward self-love and the liberation that comes from embracing one's true self.
