UConn Humanities Institute Interview
Working with the UConn Humanities Institute, I interviewed and edited an Undergraduate Research Fellow informational spotlight about the project Breanna was pursuing in the spring semester of 2024.
Through the Lens of Conflict
During the spring semester of 2024, I researched additional audio and visual materials to include in the project Through The Lens of Conflict which focuses on Ron Haviv's story of photographing a Serbian paramilitary group "Arkan Tigers" commanded by Zeljko Raznatovic Arkan, and their atrocities in the Bosnian Genocide.
Serenity
A contemplative observational documentary about a pond and the silence found in a preserved natural environment. The film focuses on creating a sense of place for the Vermont location.
Clarity Renewed
A narrative film where a woman consumed in her work rethinks the meaning of joy, friendship, and peace after her grandmother dies.
Painting in Action
Tasked with reimagining a painting and bringing it to life in cinema I was inspired by the painter Jacob De Gheyn III's work Saint Paul seated reading. I imagined Saint Paul reading and placing the large book he has on a pedestal and returning to his seat. I chose to have this be a master shot to keep the same perspective throughout.
Envisioning a Peaceful Future
Mental health struggles seem to increase by the day, and green spaces are here to help! UConn students express the importance of these spaces to them, and why they should be protected and valued by the community and the university.
Light Study
Starting the Advanced Cinematography course, I undertook a film about capturing various lighting scenarios throughout the fall semester.
Historically informed Piano
As my second documentary film produced, I stayed with the interview-based approach. This documentary focuses on the art of piano and its influences throughout history.
Narrative of Graphic Medicine
This is the very first documentary I produced. I took an interview-based approach. This documentary focuses on how teaching is changing and how a professor in medical school is joining the arts and medicine to create more empathetic doctors.
