Expectations
When Jane wakes up during involuntary sex, she's forced to confront not only her husband's violation but the invisible expectations that have shaped their relationship. Expectations is a ten minute exploration of one of the most common, yet most hidden, forms of intimate partner violence. It allows the audience to feel and experience the quiet sorrow, self-doubt, and confusion of a woman whose partner doesn't truly see her humanity, and it fills in the missing middle of the social conversation about rape by showing the little compromises and ingrained assumptions that build the power dynamics behind sexual assault.
The Jerome Project
The Jerome Project preserves, protects, and perpetuates the artistic legacy of Jerome Caja (1958 — 1995).

The project includes several moving parts: a digital catalogue raisonné, a repository of art and ephemera available for academic research, and a feature-length documentary film about Caja, with an accompanying exhibition of his art.
Way of Life
Interweaving the stories of one of Montana’s only abortion and trans healthcare clinics and diverse Montanans fighting to define and defend individual freedoms, the feature documentary in-progress WAY OF LIFE explores ideological complexities and contradictions in the country’s rapidly intensifying battles over privacy and bodily autonomy–dangerous frontlines in a polarizing America.
WE BELONG (The Lex Doc)
The Lexington Club was the only dyke bar in San Francisco for 18 rowdy years (1997-2015). Ten years after its closure, WE BELONG tells the story of the bar, the patrons that found strength in its walls, and its impact on three profound decades of LGBTQ+ history. More than just a safe space, The Lexington Club was the breeding ground for a generation of Queer women-centered rebellion.
Year of the Cat
YEAR OF THE CAT follows filmmaker Tony Nguyen on an extraordinary quest to solve the mystery of his father, lost in the chaos of the Fall of Saigon 50 years ago.

As Tony delves into his family’s history, the film reveals the emotional lengths we go to in confronting the ghosts of the past—and the possibility of healing as we reclaim and transform our futures.
Dragon Babies

Set in San Francisco’s Richmond District, DRAGON BABIES is a deep exploration of how unresolved grief, intergenerational trauma, and memory shape who we become—and whether closure is possible when we finally confront the truths we’ve carried since childhood.
