8h51 :  Art meets Film 

Montreal-born, California-based film director and artist. Lover of risotto, handheld cameras, old pickup trucks, deserts, oceans and volcanoes. I like music by Mura Masa and my Sony A7s camera. I write, direct, shoot, edit but not necessarily in that order. No longer taking editing work for others, but I'll shoot and creative consult for you!

Favorite films I make include period dramas, experimental narratives, dance films, dreamscapes and short form artsy pieces. Favorite collaborators include Japanese performer Kirilola (ex-Girl), NYC actor Eleanore Jackson, LA filmmaker Selena Moshell; I have a Patreon (@8h51) and a website (www.8h51.com).

My end goal is to contribute meaning and beauty to our highly interconnected but disconnected world, using magic, the sublime, light and morphic resonance :)
