grain painting #01
Dir. Shaan Ken Rao 2022
USA 3 min
The film comes from a place of longing. Despite the source, the place of longing itself has nothing to do with anything other than my state of mind. Rather than collaging images or painting iterations of a glorified past, I compose this abstract place of longing, through crops and layered stacks of old 35mm film scans.
Godspeed
Dir. Sonnie Wooden 2019
USA 14 min
Godspeed is a film dedicated to my native city of Chicago and my entire family that is either biological or found. It is the story of young kid who always wanted to escape the city that has plagued him with a grand desire to escape. It is the liminal space between who I am, who I was, and who I want to be. Godspeed is about the the divide between the black and white Chicago residents and the feelings of loss, grief, and alienation that come with it.

By looking into my nonbinary trans identity, I review my personal and film archives in order to understand the path that has led me to where I am. As a queer artist and through voice, body and image experimentations, I wonder about my films and my life: what is my place in this world?

During MRI scanning, I would fall into a profound deception, and in this unpredictable space, all alone and completely disconnected from the outside world, I would travel the universe and ponder about incidents that I would never be able to experience.
