I am thrilled my film YARD:WORK is one of 11 finalists for the Fluxus Museum Prize for Experimental Video, showcasing works exploring environmental processes, post-Soviet geopolitics, and diverse audiovisual forms.
The commissioned projects are on exhibit at the museum's gallery in Paros, Greece, June 12-Oct 1, 2026.
Excited that my film “A Tiny Red Dot” was chosen as a Finalist for the 11th annual CINESPACE short film competition, presented in collaboration with NASA and The Houston Cinema Arts Festival. This unique competition invites international filmmakers to create films using imagery and footage from NASA's archives. Winners will be announced during the festival’s closing night party at ARTECHOUSE. Filmmaker Richard Linklater selects the winning films, alongside a team of specialists from the Houston Cinema Arts Society and NASA.
