Treasure Island (production)
"Treasure Island" (working title) is an experimental feature film that looks at the history of San Francisco's Treasure Island while it undergoes a new wave of displacement as a proclaimed "Eco-City"
by San Franciscan development. Combining observational footage, interviews, and archival footage, the film illuminates the island's various histories as a site for ideological projections about the future
in contrast with the urgent dreams of those
who currently call it home.

Many Moons (festival circuit)
Charlie Moon’s mythology precedes him: his image and name live on as the “last Chinese Man of Humboldt County” after the purging of its Chinese community in 1885– and his descendents, known as the Moons, touch all local native tribes in the area. But were there others who survived?
With the help of Yurok, Hupa, and Chinese American residents– and framed by archival remnants– Many Moons investigates the ghostly marks left on a landscape repurposed for settlement. As a ghost responds, a missing persons case becomes an interrogation of history-making as Asian community members breathe life back into gaps in the archive.
