About
Lights... Camera... Action!
I am a fresh-woman at Loyola University New Orleans who is consistently active in independent film making. My passion lies in audio and visual arts and I have associated myself with reputable organizations accordingly. Two short films I directed are below-
"MojiGlyphics"- A parody
Emojis are becoming modern hieroglyphics. Emojis are incorporated into modern language and eventually replace English to become the language of the future. Emojis are taught in classrooms, read from holy books, and used in millennial marketing strategies.

"Strange Fruit"- A romance/ sci-fi short film.
A lab scientists' husband dies from a nutrient-deficiency disease called pellagro. She creates a cure in the form of a genetically modified fruit. Curiosity prompts her to bite it. The fruit causes her to flashback to happy memories with her husband. Does she decide to stay with her husband in her mind? Or face reality? What would you do?
