Here are some projects I've completed in other courses that I would like to share with you.

This link is to a website I created in my second year at UFT while participating in a web design course. The website is dedicated to an essay I wrote on UGC (user generated content), and also displays some of the dreamweaver skills I have developed. []

In a class on art and activism, we had a group project where we had to create some sort of an intervention to combat and shed light on an issue in society. My group decided to focus on prescription drugs and how the industry utilizes tactics which attempt to persuade individuals that prescription drugs are the only cure to their illness. We created a spoof commercial to parody the ways in which drug advertisements have become so tactical and even comical.

These films were recently completed as a group assignment for a Documentary filmmaking course. The subject is a women named Natalie Samaroo, and she has been struggling with Lupus for the past six years. The first film we created was like a PSA as the main focus was explaining what Lupus is and how it affects individuals lives. The second film was our final assignment, and looks to delve more into the emotional aspects of being such a young woman and having to struggle with attempting to maintain normalcy in such an abnormal situation.

This film is one I created as part of a group project for an introductory level film course. I work part-time with a girl named Lauren who has Williams syndrome, which is a developmental disorder. Her parents were told that she would have trouble developing in many aspects of her life. Despite the odds, Lauren has grown into an amazing women that continues to inspire and encourage me to be a better person. She has so many skills that were thought to be impossible for someone with her condition. Her lively personality and spirit which attracts the attention of anyone around her are just two her many assets. This film was meant to portray the ways in which others can surprise us all. media type="youtube" key="Im7BEVywAMY" height="390" width="640"

This last video was for the same class as the above documentary, but was based around a narrative that I wrote. The film was referencing the genre of the british gangster films, with reference to styles like those of Guy Ritchie. media type="youtube" key="1k4MsElr8q0" height="390" width="480"
