Stories Garments Tell is a short documentary film that peeks into the lives of garments. From concept to construction and how garments are an embodiment of culture, identity, and a reflection of society and history. If fashion design is considered an art form, then can it also tell a story?
Gatekeeper is a story about the relationship between a natural environment and the rural communities of Miami-Dade County. Miami-Dade County, a historically rich county, where generations of families have fished and farmed, cared for the land, and created a blooming multicultural city full of food, music, art and integration with the surrounding habitats. Known as the "Homesteaders Trail", a major hub to the Florida railroad, residents of Miami-Dade are cultivators of environmental protection and education for the surrounding area, and act as a gatekeeper to enter into Biscayne National Park as well as a gateway for migration from the Caribbean islands and Mexico to the United States.
