What has always fascinated me is how different each person can describe an event or film. The way we experience the world is fragmented, nonlinear, and associative. Through editing, I attempt to exploit this meaning-making process. This has led me toward experimental narrative forms, found-footage aesthetics, and database-like structures in editing where meaning accumulates across patterns rather than through traditional arcs. 

When viewing dailies, my sensibilities are to look for opportunities to do more than what I originally perceive. I note ways to complicate time, emphasize subjective perspective, or create tension between what is seen and what is understood.

Chunking Express inspired me to start viewing editing more than piecing a coherent story, and more towards how audiences piece that story together.  I am interested in the evolution of editing as a practice, and am drawn to work that trusts the audience’s intelligence and invites active interpretation.
