Curator of Sundance New Frontier shaping immersive storytelling, XR cinema, and experimental narrative culture
I’m an artist, filmmaker, and curator best known for leading New Frontier at the Sundance Film Festival, where I’ve spent years supporting immersive storytelling, XR cinema, AI-driven media, and experimental narrative forms. My work focuses on expanding cinematic language beyond traditional screens by bringing together artists, filmmakers, technologists, and audiences exploring new ways of experiencing stories, participation, and human connection through emerging media.
