Stop Running is about a sorceress who constantly resists the next step in her evolution, represented by the bear, because she is afraid of the uncertainty and the discomfort that phase will bring. It is not until the sorceress tries to harm the bear that she symbolically realizes that she is the bear, and is just hurting herself. She needs to stop the running game. She is determined to end it and chooses transformation despite the pain and suffering growth brings.

“What do I love most about my mum? God. I wish that wasn’t such a difficult question to answer…” A Super 8 short about one of the easiest and most difficult relationships of our lives. Made as part of the Straight 8 initiative - one cartridge of super 8 film, no re-takes, no editing, no grade, no post-production at all. You even make your soundtrack ‘blind’.

In her kitchen, a woman is processing her feelings after giving birth.


This short solo dance video is an autobiographical one. I choreographed it, danced it, directed it. It has been filmed with my personal cellphone, a Samsung Galaxy A20 5G.

The images have been filmed in the kitchen of the house where I live, somewhere in the slums around Lima, Peru, where I and my family have been volunteering for the last 2 years.

The whole project, from preproduction to post-production, lasted 2 months, between 5 and 10 days of work.

It is a one-shot sequence film. It had to be done in the real postpartum period I was really going through, when the emotions and the sensations of this specific time in life were still very vivace and most of all, true. It also had to be done with all the respect due to what I and my baby who had been born 3 months before were experiencing.

Gladiolus flowers were and still are inhabiting the kitchen where the video was shot. In the desertic areas of Peru, they bring colors and joy. They bloom inside one's body, celebrating this glorious time of life when life is born. They wither inside one's body, as petals being stepped on after a party when it is all that is being left. These two opposite movements are present at the same time within the woman who is standing in her kitchen, as a gladiator in the middle of the arena.

The Salve Regina is a catholic antienne dedicated to the Virgin Mary, commenting about the difficulties of life and asking for Her protection and care.

“Becoming” captures a moment on the edge of awakening, the fleeting time before motivation and before criticism. A childhood dream-dance, lived fully in the moment, and destined to be forgotten.

Assaman is a cosmic twin love story with the future. A man named Tukki meets a sky-being named Asé. Together, they become suspended in a visual and sonic examination in search of flourishing joy and self-care. What may seem a simple love story quickly expands into a kaleidoscope of introspective, interconnected and intergenerational movement and moments. Assaman holds you for 14 minutes in an Afrofuturist and Indigenous sonic vision - a hypnotic journey. Assaman means "the sky" in Wolof.

Logline: A love story with the future kaleidoscopes in a cosmic twin encounter.

A mother and son respond to the unending killings of black Americans amidst the backdrop of the protests that followed the death of George Floyd. Dance and archival photographs are woven together to evoke fear, outrage, and anger and the need for communities to come together and find solutions.
