Building Blocks is an 11 minute documentary that I produced and directed in film school for my documentary production class. Building Blocks follows a childcare center called Talitha Koum whose goal is to help end the school-to-prision pipeline through focusing on the brain development of at-risk children from infancy to 5 years old who live in deep multi-generational urban poverty. I worked as a producer, director, cinematographer, and editor for this project. Building Blocks is current being reworked to start its festival run in spring of 2024.
