I make films under the production company Patuá Films. I taught in the Cinema Studies Department at University of Oregon, and I currently teach at Lewis & Clark College and at Pacific Northwest College of Art (PNCA) at Willamette University. My courses mostly cover film (fiction and non-fiction) and video installation.
I made a feature film, Borrufa, which is distributed by Collective Eye Films, and streaming on Kanopy.
In 2020-2021, I organized two film screening programs (From Afar and From Afar II), and I wrote accompanying essays for the ten films presented.
In 2019, I presented a performance piece, The Overseas Banquet, and a video installation as part of The Autopoets.
In 2017, with co-directors Stacey Tran and Jonathan Raissi, I made an experimental short film, Haft-Seen.
In 2014, I made a short documentary, There are no birds in the nests of yesterday.
