Spring Capstone Project 2024
The four films that comprise this anthology are Doh, God!, a claymation short by Nathan Siskel, Growing Mad in the Midwest, a poetic documentary short by Elshadai Aberra, Steering, a fiction short by Luluh Abathra, and Victory at Sea, a documentary essay short by Erik Nuding.
All of the post-production sound for each of these films was done by me: research, design, effect and archival sound sourcing, mixing, and export of deliverables (for screenings and upload).
