"Christmas, Every Day" gives a slice-of-life glimpse of preteen influencers Peyton and Lyla Wesson, ages 11 and 12, as they perform for their online fans under their mother’s watchful guidance. Shot in a series of highly composed, locked-off takes, the film examines everyday cultural practice under late stage capitalism, juxtaposing rural life with the patina of the virtual world. As Peyton and Lyla shift between performance and reality, ideas of self-presentation as empowerment, female confidence, and self-branding come to the fore.

Take Me To A Lake is a secular hymn, by way of ballad turned rock barnstormer turned ambient waterscape. Written mostly at Radnor Lake State Park, under the influence of science and poetic naturalism, the theme centers around states, and the journey into and out of being. The conservation of matter, the persistence of energy, myth-making, social influence, form and formlessness and of course, lakes.
