Aboard the Pater Noster (2008)
A little tribe of humans tries to make sense of their dehumanized lives while passing through Prague. At first, they ride a "pater noster," a cyclical, continuous elevator in which multiple, door-less cars are strung along the cables like beads on a rosary. Then they board a streetcar, cycling in an endless loop through Prague. We are submerged in our cities, so the cycles of our lives are invisible. This film offers new ways of looking, using variations on themes of circularity, the craving for human contact, and a sense of being simultaneously alone and together.

Girlfriend Experience (2008)
Why do men pay for sex? An entertaining peek into the world of prostitution from the client’s point of view.
Daniel doesn’t understand why he can’t have a relationship with his girlfriend Maddy and date prostitutes for fun on the side - a practice he calls GFE (Girlfriend Experience). But when Maddy dumps him and Daniel starts purchasing GFE from a mysterious prostitute, the lines between sex and love, fantasy and reality, begin to blur. Sometimes love can be a lot more expensive than sex.
"As a filmmaker, I simply want to reveal what is hidden - the john". Movies often portray sex-workers, but their customers remain well hidden – faceless and nameless. Girlfriend Experience calls attention to this bias, at the same time as it shifts the cinematic gaze onto the client.

The Here To Gathered (2008)
A reception hall, a park, an art gallery, a living room, a street, a beach and a gymnasium– The Here To Gathered plays inside these theatres of the social, performing along with the actors who move through them. Gestural, visceral, corny and critical, meditative, artificial and often realistic, the film threatens to burst at the seams from its own difference. But The Here To Gathered is held together by a rigid structuralism that, like any law excessively applied, vents itself in the absurd. Lurking on the borders between documentary, narrative and experimental film, The Here To Gathered is a portrait, in both major and minor keys, of nothing more than passage.
