Biography
Research interests
I am a filmmaker and a film scholar. My research focuses on screen performance, ethnographic cinema and experimental filmmaking. My first monograph, Nonprofessional Film Performance (Palgrave Macmillan, 2023), examined the work of first-time nonprofessional actors in films ranging from the early silent period to contemporary digital cinema. I currently lead Transforming Voices, a digital platform and research network exploring the voice in non-fiction cinema through collaborative filmmaking.
