Featured Works

Here are a selection of the performances and films I either directed, designed or worked on in the last 5 years. For the films, I directed and edited them. The performance design typically includes designing the video system, the original artworks, projected videos, as well as the integration with set, lighting, and costume. For those I wasn’t the designer, I typically worked on the creation of the content shown here.

The Bigot

From the official playbill:

"When Simon Levinson accuses his father of bigotry, he must confront a series of larger challenges, including the polarization of American politics and how to make his boyfriend love him. Taking place over the course of the Obama years, the play explores what we gain and lose when society progresses and asks us to answer the question, 'Who is the true bigot?'"
