After the sudden death of her mother from an accidental gunshot, Minda Martin pieces together her family’s history through the voices of those left behind. Shot in Super 8 and video, this intimate portrait gives voice to a working-class family in the American Southwest, shaped by poverty, loss, and resilience. Blending personal testimony with social critique, the film becomes both an act of remembrance and a stark reflection on life at the margins of contemporary America.

Commuters went to work via the Staten Island ferry, reading the paper, and drinking their morning coffee. Suddenly, life changed forever, as residents of Staten Island watched in horror, looking across the bay to Manhattan after two planes hit the World Trade Center towers. “MORNING: September 11th” documents the shocked and quiet reactions of Staten Island Residents, as they listened to “1010 Wins” newscasters in disbelief report the collapse of the twin towers, as Manhattan billowed smoke across the bay.

Monument Valley uses archival images from various sources, images related to the famous south-western USA landscape and tourist attraction, tourists and fragments from classic Western films. This video blurs the boundaries between past and present.
