CORPUS CHRISTI 

As a Fall 2021 Valentine & Clark Emerging Artist Fellow in the Creative Culture Fellowship Program at The Jacob Burns Film Center, I directed, shot, and edited this ambient and observational short documentary about the oldest Dominican convent in America located in The Bronx. Corpus Christi explores how a solitary and contemplative world can also be a fulfilling one for nuns that remain cloistered until death. It is an environmental study of solitude, silence, habit, and hope - four things that many of us have struggled to embrace through the pandemic. The film has screened in film festivals noted above and at Joyce Kilmer Park in the Bronx through the Bronx Independent Cinema Center.
