I'm honored to be featured in RIIFF's Filmmakers Spotlight Series on Monday June 15 at the Viking Hotel in Newport, 5-7pm. There will be a wine reception, followed by the screening (Feral, Kapaemahu, Aikane), and a Q+A . Free and open to the public. I hope to see you there!

A while back, I worked on some animation for The Heretical Kingdom, Reshad Kulenovic's new film. The film is coming out this summer, and I can finally share the trailer!
We had a conversation with the animation director Daniel Sousa, and you can now watch the film online. zippyframes.com/interviews/t…
I had the privilege to direct the animation for Ciara Lacy's ‘The Queen's Flowers’. Watch the full film and read interviews with the team at AWN.

We continue our Oscar-qualified animated shorts series with Daniel Sousa, Dean Hamer, and Joe Wilson's 'Aikāne.' Part swashbuckling adventure and part queer love story, the fantasy short earned Oscars qualification at the New Hampshire Film Festival.

I couldn't be happier with the film. Thanks to @deanhamer , Joe Wilson, and @dangorange for making it such a collaborative and fulfilling experience. Stay tuned for festival dates!
This week, the #Kapaemahu creative team had a conversation with Disney icon #JohnMusker ("Moana," "Little Mermaid," "Aladdin,"). I'm honored to have been part of this process and to have a chance to shed some light on the making of the film.
