My artistic work is rooted in the idea of collage. I like to bring incongruent and contradictory elements together in a way which enhances or changes their beauty and meaning. Film is the perfect medium for that process. It\u2019s a coming together of art, photography, music and writing, of image and sound, of serious content and aesthetic pleasure. It combines many facets of art and literature in order to produce something powerful and complete.                    <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n                        <div class=\"panel\">\n                <div class=\"panel-heading\">\n                    <h4 class=\"panel-title\">\n                        <a data-toggle=\"collapse\" class=\"\" data-parent=\"#accordion-3124939073\" href=\"#activism\">Activism<\/a>\n                    <\/h4>\n                <\/div>\n                <div id=\"activism\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse \">\n                    <div class=\"panel-body\">\n                        From an activist standpoint, I find film to be extremely effective in breaking down barriers and starting important conversations. We live in a very visual culture where if we can\u2019t see something, it\u2019s like it doesn\u2019t exist. Film allows one to witness for oneself, to meet people one might never come across in real life. It permits dialogue and exchange which is bounded and safe yet can provoke thought in unpredictable ways. Documentary film is especially suited for recording and analyzing microhistory, the personal narrative, the individual testimony.                     <\/div>\n                <\/div>\n
