Japan and China


We just got back from 3 weeks in Japan and China! In Japan, we visited Tokyo, Kyoto, Nara, and a Mount Koya. Highlights included: Ryoanji Rock garden, Okunoin Cemetery, Toda-ji Temple (with those hungry deers!), and the Tokyo National Museum. In China, we spent 8 days in Beijing and a day at the Great Wall of China! Highlights included: The Forbidden City, the Summer Palace, Chairman's Mao's mausoleum, the National Art Museum of Beijing, and taking the toboggan down from the Great Wall of China! Before we went, we watched a lot of Ozu and Kurosawa movies, as well as reading a lot about Shintoism, Buddhism, and Zen.

Woodstock Film Festival: Sister



My short film "Sister" was selected for the teen panel at the 2017 Woodstock Film Festival! I wrote, edited, and directed the movie and my friend Archie (Lewis-Harris) composed the original score. We had a great time at the festival, where most of the cast and crew attended! You can see the movie here at Vimeo.

Bottom's Dream



I just played Bottom in NGP's summer production of A Midsummer Night's Dream. Here's snippets from the show and some photographs. It was a fabulous show!
