VISUAL STORYTELLING THROUGH FILM

This collection showcases short documentary films I created as part of my coursework in the journalism program at the University of Missouri. Each piece was directed, shot, and edited by me. These projects explore real people and environments, developed with both journalistic integrity and creative intention.

A Micro-documentary on Angie Butts and her metaphysical store, Triple Flame Healing — exploring her spiritual path and the healing space she has built.

A 3-minute documentary comparing how 9/11 was covered then vs. now, reflecting on media framing and evolving narratives.

This short feature explores Cooper’s Landing, a riverside campground near Columbia, Missouri, known for its inclusive, family-friendly atmosphere. Originally established in the 1980s, it was revitalized by new ownership in 2019 and has since become a beloved local hangout where people gather for live music, scenic river views, and good food.
