On December 7, 2025, for our final Film Production II project of the semester, I had the great fortune of closing things out alongside my team with our fourth short film, “Rosa vs. Wanita“. Ending the semester with this collaboration was incredibly fulfilling, and getting to be a part of Anna Park’s classroom for a final time was an absolute treasure.

Serving as Director of Photography, I set out to create a piece that transcended the dialogue in our script. Each visual installation and camera movement aimed to evoke emotion in our audience, placing them directly in the shoes of Rosa and her situation amid the devastating news faced in our piece.

On December 18, 2025, my team was selected to have our final film “Rosa vs. Wanita“ screened at the Hunter Student Cinema Fall Showcase, hosted by Hunter’s Film and Media Department!
Getting to check out some of my peers’ work from the Fall 2025 semester's production classes was incredible. From documentaries to narratives, animated shorts to experimental visions, this showcase features some of the most creative and compelling works happening at Hunter College and was a great opportunity to be part of the Hunter filmmaking community.

Thank you to the Hunter Film and Media Department, not only for selecting our piece to be a part of your Hunter Student Cinema Fall Showcase, but for an incredible semester! This showcase was a beautiful way to close out the Fall 2025 semester, through the department’s continuous efforts of celebrating and uplifting students' work and supporting their voices through fresh, new, and inventive ways. It was truly a pleasure working with my team this semester, whose creativity and authenticity elevate every project they touch. I can't wait to see where their artistry takes them next!

Here is our last short film of the semester titled “Rosa vs. Wanita”.
