community garden

A woman wanders into a garden she's never noticed before. In befriending the young witchy group of women who tend it, she is confronted with a supernatural opportunity to save her own life. Community Garden is a meditation on self-searching, sacrifice, and that lovely glow you get when you feast on the fruits that grow from the graves of dead husbands.

Produced April 2021 at The University of Texas at Austin (UT Microfarm)

oh, sweetheart

If human intentions come from a place of innocence, then it is human actions that reveal their dangerous nature through clumsy slips of the tongue. Women subjected to emotional and physical labor at the hands of the women on top tear open the veil and give birth to a new system.
