Poverty and the Cycle of Violent Youth in 'City of God'
'City of God' depicts the cylindrical cycle of violence that is forced upon the underprivileged.
Fumble (2025)
A series of lighthearted performative vignettes that explore the duality of immigrant and queer life— the longing to return to the familiar geographic, cultural, and bodily coordinates of one's past, alongside an equally compelling desire to assimilate into a new culture and identity. Through a collection of absurd scenes depicting both the attempts and failures to fit in, the film illustrates the felt incongruities of this experience in a hybrid form.

Forty years after The Goonies (1985) America’s consciousness hasn’t strayed from the same tropes: treasure hunts, a vulnerable white male lead, and the whitewashing of a racially segregated setting.
