Bio:
I am currently earning a Masters in Film/Video performance in California College of Arts Fine Art Graduate program and free-lancing as an animators assistant for SF's emerging animation studio Wildbrain. I have a BFA in Film/Television studies from Academy of Art University. I'm interested in coupling all of my *media experiences* into an uneasy flickering glob of rearticulated pop culture; this new *thing* can be described as a giddy and candy-colored spectacle that is complicated by melodramatic gestures and psychosexual improvisations.
