Once Upon a Roost

This project is my MFA thesis, created in collaboration with my thesis partner, Hailey Dowdy. As co-directors and producers, we worked together to develop and produce the entire film, telling a playful story inspired by Russian folklore, reimagining Baba Yaga’s chicken-footed house as it falls in love with a farmyard chicken. The film is currently in production and will be completed in May 2026.
