Filipiñana (2020) Director of Photography

The “tee-girls” fulfil their duties stoically, squatting in the dust as they sort golf balls. They fish them out of the water-lily-covered ponds and place them for the golfers as they swing their clubs narrowly past the girls’ faces.

The golf course as a self-contained cosmos that reflects social conditions.

We all just want to be mad (2020) Director of Photography

Arabella has her eye on Fred which means it's not easy. So when she (and Fred) attend the Tall Man's party, she is self conscious.

But again she is self-conscious around him. So Arabella strategizes. Arabella who wants to be mad. Where madness isn't loony or kooky, it's the freedom to be.
