Sea of Fog

Strangers pass each other every day on the ferries leaving and entering San Francisco – some find romance, others remain unseen. Sea of Fog explores the distance between the dreams we’re sold about love and its daily reality.

Eubie

Eubie paints with a paint brush attached to her baseball hat. She moves her head across the canvas with bright colors of her choice. The brush strokes often show jiggles as she giggles with joy.

A comedy about best friends and roommates, Steven and Rahul, who open their condo into an underground casino in order to raise money to pay off a debt owed to the Chinese gambling syndicate.
