TSI TEYOTO:TE (Even in the silence) is a visual poem about grief, self-healing, and underage drinking told in Kanien'keha (Mohawk Language)

I again had the fortunate opportunity to collaborate with Jonathan Elliott on a project that while holds cultural significance also speaks to the humanity in all of us. This was a difficult project to work on, as it’s quite easy to overindulge in the darkness of what is being seen to the point of fetishizing. The score for this film is touches on melancholia, loss and hopefulness in a way that I hope compliments and reinforces the story being told.
