I’m very excited and honored to announce that Black Box has been accepted to the 2014 Athens International Film and Video Festival!  The festival, now in its 40th(!) year, was where we had our Ohio premiere of Losing LeBron last April… I am extremely grateful to be a returning filmmaker at this fantastic festival!

Black Box will screen at the Athena Cinema on Sunday, April 13 at 3pm.  For more information, please visit: http://athensfilmfest.org/.

I’m thrilled to announce that Black Box was accepted to the 2014 Salem Film Fest’s Mass Reality Check Student Doc showcase!!

The Salem Film Fest is New England’s largest all-documentary festival, and their Mass Reality Check screens films from local student and recent graduates who work in documentary and experimental forms.

The Salem Film Fest runs from March 6th-13th, and Black Box will screen with other works on Saturday, March 8th from 11-12:30pm, at the National Park Service Visitor Center at 2 Liberty Street in Salem, MA. For more info, please visit: http://salemfilmfest.com/2014/.

Needless to say, I’m very excited to screen my coastal New England film in a coastal New England town! Hope to see you all there.

I’m very excited to announce that I’ve been invited to present Black Box at the 2014 New England Graduate Media Symposium!

The theme of this year’s symposium is “Performing Actuality: How Reality is Re-presented.”  I’ll be presenting during the Blurring Reality and Fiction = Blurring Form panel, where we’ll examine hybrid forms of storytelling and techniques.

Su Friedrich (my heroine), will be this year’s keynote speaker.  Su is an incredible experimental filmmaker, and her film, Sink or Swim, was a HUGE inspiration for me when I was making Black Box.

The symposium takes place on Friday, February 14th.  Free and open to all media-making graduate students in New England.

Many thanks to the NEG Media Symposium Committee and to Emerson College for giving me this wonderful opportunity!!
