Hello Children of Syria

"Channeling the voice of Adele with images of the Syrian refugee crisis, this video hopes to bring the two together in a powerful way."
This video combines images from Adele's music video, clips from videos of Syrian refugees and the lifestyle of a small organism inside the world it inhabits in an attempt to have the three speak through each other. If people can watch Adele's music video 250 million times will they be willing to listen to the same song through a different lens for the…"Channeling the voice of Adele with images of the Syrian refugee crisis, this video hopes to bring the two together in a powerful way."

The Plant

The experimental short film, "The Plant" is a simple story about a guy who tries to help a plant in need. However, the film itself represents a style of filmmaking that I have been investigating- the incorporation of elements of the "real world" into a traditional narrative-based cinema experience allowing these elements and characters to directly influence what unfolds onscreen.
