I really enjoyed presenting (or performing?) my poem, as part of the short film, On Victory, by Coventry Elim Church. I don’t have much experience of reading my poems in front of a live audience, so this felt experimental, fresh and exciting. Check out the film below!
Films
In hopes of getting my voice heard, my primary outlet over the years has been film. Through it, I have told stories which primary feature the experiences of others, getting by alongside us in the world. There have been some exceptions though. Exceptions, which I very much welcome everyone to explore, as I continue to travel on my journey.
