LAHMAJUN
Film synopsis: A student who’s chronically late to her dishwasher job comes up to her boss’s last straw… but why is she always late?
A short film created during Michael Goorjian’s Independent Filmmaking Certificate workshop (in conjunction with the American University of Armenia Extension & Media Lab) on October 2025. We workshopped the film with my five-person group for two weeks and shot and edited it in over one week. I co-wrote and served on the film as production manager, cinematographer, and assistant director; later as a music supervisor and music editor.
Ako’y Isang Makata (I am a Poet)
Film synopsis: Abby, a teenage Filipino immigrant living in a post- Soviet country, attempts to rediscover her culture and forgotten language by reading “Florante at Laura,” a Filipino epic poem, but struggles to understand her own tongue, all while battling with her homesickness.
A 15-minute short film shot on video camera and iPhone completely inside my apartment during the COVID-19 pandemic. I did this as an individual assignment for Intro to Filmmaking class in the Fall 2021 semester at the American University of Armenia.
Bente Uno (Twenty-One)
A 5-minute portrait film made of montages of my creative life and about going through a life changed by COVID-19 and turning twenty-one (bente-uno).
I was influenced by my penchant for making collages, and considered this work as another collage – but in film. Submitted as an individual assignment for Intro to Filmmaking class in the Fall 2021 semester at the American University of Armenia.
