I creatively lead the project 'For the Stage' as well as working in camera, sound, and editing. Filling different roles across all individual films. This project has allowed me to feel comfortable in all technical aspects of documentary filming, becoming a generalist. This project has also immersed me into a different cultural experience, and I want to continue working with people different from myself, helping to produce authentic representation.

Captures the profound journey of maintaining cultural identity while embracing a new homeland. Set against the backdrop of the vast distance between Wellington and Beijing, this series explores the intricate dance of preserving one's traditions and adapting to a different world. It's an intimate glance into the human experience of migration, celebrating the resilience and evolution inherent in starting anew.
