Director | Producer | Writer | Performer

“Of Our Youth” is a short narrative romance about a man wandering through the city on a quiet night. After stopping for take-out, he crosses paths with a stranger and is compelled to start a conversation.

The film was shot in Cedar-Riverside with the participation of local businesses and musicians to demonstrate the vibrancy of this small neighborhood of Minneapolis. I wanted this project to bring the city to life and reflect the mental spaces myself and those around me were experiencing.

I served as director, producer and writer on this project, collaborating with my creative partner and cinematographer JC Calubayan.
