Nama'o - The Ancient Storyteller (2014)
This short documentary was made during the summer of my freshman year of high school while participating in a youth leadership program at the College of Menominee Nation's Sustainable Development Institute. I worked with my twin brother, Nicholas, and another student to research, interview, film, and edit this program over the course of 8 weeks. This project introduced me to my love of film making.

Kāēyas Mesek Oskēken - It’s Old and It’s New
This fiction film encapsulates of all the knowledge I had gained in my four summers I attending the College of Menominee Nation's Sustainability Leadership Cohort program. This year, the cohort decided to go all in on making one film. In collaborating with other students and mentors like Justin Gauthier, I learned screenwriting and utilized my directing and editing experience to help bring this film to life.

Stout Student Association Informational Videos - 2020
This series of videos was completed under my duties as the Stout Student Association's Senator at Large. As part of celebrating the 50th year of the student government, I worked to develop these informational videos so that UW Stout students could gain a better understanding of the role that SSA plays in their day-to-day. Topics ranged from Standing Committees, Senator Testimonies, and how to become involved with the organization.
