"OLD POST ROAD" (2023) / TRAILER
Old Post Road blends my 8mm family footage with present-day Super 8mm film created in collaboration with Tori Lawrence, Ellie Goudie Averill, Brian Culbertson, and my grandparents Patsy and Grant Knapp. It unfolds, mirroring the way I remember my childhood—scattered and pieced together by seemingly unrelated events, people, places, dreams, and stories.

"HUMAN ERRATICS" (2023) / TRAILER
The images in Human Erratics were taken on a digital, medium format Hasselblad in and around the deserted buildings and dumpsites of my hometown. I call these places wastescapes. These wastescape structures conjure images of glacial erratics. Like these large rock deposits, left behind by the movement of ice across long distances, wastescape structures mark the path of human movement. They are, in a sense, human erratics—deposits of human abandonment and remnants of neglect. The images in the film capture the life and death that coexist in these places. They shed light on the movements of our ancestors and reveal how we partner with the spaces that we create, inhabit, and neglect across the landscapes we call home. The film is a collaborative endeavor with artists Tori Lawrence, Ellie Goudie-Averill, and Emily Climer. More info >>
"GREEN MOUNTAIN PROJECT" (2023) / TRAILER
A collaboration between filmmaker Tori Lawrence and dancers Emily Climer, Ellie Goudie-Averill, and Marie Lynn Haas. Together they create site specific works by developing improvisational scores for the dancers, musicians, and the camera. They created movement-driven footage on 16mm film in and around the landscapes of Rochester, Vermont in the the summer of 2018 and 2019. More info >>
