As part of my final project in the Video Art class at the University of Rochester, I collaborated with a talented group of student filmmakers, led by Pirooz Kalayeh, a film director, screenwriter, and professor. The project culminated in the creation of a short film inspired by a poem I wrote titled "A Sonar Elegy."

The film tells the story of a grieving pianist, battling his own sorrow and the looming fear of losing his connection to his late partner, a ballet dancer.

I co-screen wrote, co-directed, & designed the film’s poster. The completed film was showcased in the class's final film exhibition, where it was presented alongside the work of other student filmmakers.
