About the art:
The Lighted Windows (10 min) - Unhappy at home, a young girl escapes to walk her neighborhood streets at night and wonder about the different possible lives being lived behind the lighted windows. The lighted windows are about longing, imagining and considering life’s options.

The Ocean Thief (11 min) - The story of a young girl whose beach-written story is stolen by the ocean, and her struggle to get it back. Filmed in Oregon, the story explores the plight of the artist’s voice in a sea of voices, using metaphor to examine creativity, ancestry, mortality and time.

The Beautiful Feather (11 min) - A young girl tells fantastical stories of experiences and adventures that may or may not be true, to the frustration of her village. Touching on themes of independence and personal voice, “The Beautiful Feather” weaves sonic motifs into a message about the power of one’s own story.
