Creating Space for Cinema.
FILM PROGRAMMING & CURATION
FILM FESTIVALS · CURATION · INDUSTRY EVENTS
Film is both an art form and a meeting place.
My programming and festival work has brought me into collaboration with filmmakers, curators, cultural organizations, and industry professionals across a range of cinematic spaces. I am interested in the conversations films create, the audiences they reach, and the opportunities that thoughtful programming can make possible.

Images Festival
Festival Board Member & Guest Curator
Supported curatorial and festival processes. Guest curated the award-wining program. The Green Pastures, Still Waters, and Black Rhythms' program delved into the tender knowledge of nature, spirit, and the body, resisting the demands of modernity. Inspired by Tricia Hersey's Nap Ministry, it explored the resistance in rest, healing in realignment, and care in communion, honouring ancestral memories and reclaiming Black rhythms of dance and connection with the land. Through landscape, spirituality, and multidimensional temporalities, the artists affirmed intentional rest as political tool for collective healing, offering a passageway to reconnect with slowness and freedom.
