ASTROJACKAL
In 2024, I decided to launch my own production company, astrojackal. In the world of film, I've mostly produced my own projects, but also gained experience working on real sets as a PA for for feature films as well as working through from pre to post-production on multiple documentary series as an intern at CALICO. I wanted to take the skills I've learned through the work I've assisted on and self-produced projects to make film projects that felt inventive, entertaining, and fulfilling to me, which is where the idea for astrojackal came from. So far, we've made 1 experimental short and are in production for puppet web series, Birdadelphia, which can be seen on YouTube now! More episodes of Birdadelphia and additional projects are soon to come...
Birdadelphia
Waves
waves is a short I put together while on a trip to Toronto with my friends because I was feeling creative and wanted to express the way crashing waves made me feel, view it here .
This passion project had its first draft written in 2022, and production is finally under way! If puppetry, birds, and slightly off-color humor are up your alley, then Birdadelphia might be for you; watch it here !
PRIOR FILM WORK
In the world of film, I've mostly produced my own projects, but also have some editing experience and have assisted on others! I also do puppetry a little animation for fun : )
I film my work on a Blackmagic 4k pocket cinema camera, and edit using Premiere Pro and Da Vinci Resolve
DONOTPRESSTHEBUTTON
I began learning how to animate this spring, and although drawing definitely isn't my strong-suit, I really enjoy the medium of animation, and this little 1 minute narrative short showcases what I've learned so far.
SELF PORTRAIT
A little thing I made. Had to animate a hand-drawn self-portrait so I made something kinda abstract and funky. watch it here
DANTE'S INFERNO
This project was my attempt to explore the abstract, using a ping pong match as the tool. I wanted to film and edit something weird and so, that's what I did! You can view it here !
PARTY ARTY
This was the first project that I fully produced myself! It was my first dive into the short film world, and won Best Super Short Film at the Paris Cinema Awards! You can view it here !
Every project is special. Contact me to learn more.
