My first short film, SWIM STROKE, transforms the vulnerability of the aging female body into a source of connection; the film premiered at the Hamburg International Short Film Festival, Roxy Underground Film Festival, and was featured by The New York Times (February 2017).

I introduce the world with a sound, at once recognizable and abstract: the sound of a body plunging underwater and then rising. This sound draws the audience into the world but its meaning is not revealed until the climax of the film. Sometimes our early work shows us something about how we want to work and what we want to say. Looking back, it is clear my early works demonstrate an interest in non-linear sound.
