Co-Director with Elena Vazintaris

As female artists, chasing the idea of perfection often stifles our ability to react instinctively. We make excuses and manipulate ourselves into believing that we’re not capable. We want to show how torturous it is to obsessively pursue the unbelievably high standards that we often set for ourselves.
“In the Habit of Hiding” is a moving portrait capturing the inner dialogue of self sabotage while simultaneously grappling with a collective anxiety over the state of the external world. Overcoming the mundane to motivate oneself into existence feels like a slow, endless climb through a tub of molasses.
In the Habit of Hiding is the proud Silver Award winner of the Ciclope Awards (“Weird Shxt” Category) and premiered at Luminato Festival Toronto on June 9, 2022
