GeoWeGos is a project starting from an idea by Tim Thompson, Matthew Lyon, and Dado Dejanovic. This idea was scrapped due to a similar show being released, but eventually brought back by seven high-schoolers (one of them being me!!).

GeoWeGos is a project that we’ve been working on for our CO-OP placement under the supervision of Matthew Lyon from Lakeside Animation, where we have to make an episode of a kids’ show based on the pitch we were received.

I focus on rigging and puppeteering, as well as video editing.

The full 40-second teaser was screened as part of TDSB’s Animation Pool Festival in 2025.

ANXIETY is based on a young boy dealing with mental health issues such as depression, social anxiety, and suicide. Every day, he dreams about a void that eventually consumes his life, and he has to break out.

ANXIETY is a film directed and created by me! It is based on my struggles with mental health and was created as a way to share my life and bring more talk surrounding youth mental health.

The full film was screened as part of TDSB’s Animation Pool Film Festival in 2025.
