A grieving woman accepts an invitation to taste a sweet feast hidden deep in the woods, where longing is served coated in sugar and every indulgence softens her hard edges, to show her that community can feed not only the body, but also the deepest appetites of the soul.

My official directorial debut! And my first submission to the 48 Hour Film Project in July 2026.

We were chosen for the Portland “Best of” Screening in September, and were presented with 5 award nominations and one win! We were nominated for: Best Direction, Best Cinematography, Best Production Design/Art Direction, Best Sound Design, and Best Credits for our stop motion title card — which is the award we won!
