ANIMATION REEL
METEORAVE [2024] is a film about an underground alien club being crashed by the CIA. It is completely hand drawn.

Music was made on BandLab.
METEORAVE
STRAY KITTY [2024] is about a girl running away from home after her cat is put down. It has a very moody tone, and is different from a lot of my other work because it is muted and grounded in reality. I had just started learning Guitar when I made this. I made this on Procreate dreams and the music on BandLab.
STRAY KITTY
TERRAFORMING [2024] surrounds an alien girl being raised in an orphanage, who over time changes her features to appear more human and more acceptable.

BACK OF THE CLASS
SHORT FILMS
“Cindy Undead” follows a mysterious supermodel, Cindy Devereux, who constantly falls apart and sews herself back together to stay alive until the breaking point. It is my love letter to the 80s and I had so much fun designing the characters, music, and textures used. There are many details to catch in the backgrounds and tabloids etc. In this film I explore my thoughts on celebrity culture, treatment of women, and sensationalism. I have been noticing that people will only tune in for a woman on a pedestal or the spectacle of her hitting rock bottom, and wanted to depict that. This film is also my most advanced technique-wise so far, and I am extremely proud of all that I was able to craft from scratch. Everything in this film including score is made completely by me except the initial sample of Divine from John Waters’ “Female Trouble”
