Her films have screened at Athens International Film and Video Festival, Sarasota Film Festival, Philadelphia Film Festival, Antimatter Video Art, and Chicago Underground Film Festival. Her most recent project was commissioned by FSU's Center for the Advancement of Human Rights and explores with themes of trauma and healing through 360-degree technology and dance.
