A Brief Diary of an Unimportant Man
A Brief Diary of an Unimportant Man is an experimental documentary told entirely through internal monologue, live-looped folk songs, and ambient sound captured in public spaces along the East Coast.

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.

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.
