A Family's Dictionary of Morningside Heights
In my final semester at Columbia, I made a short film about my family’s time there—two decades after my dad earned his degree from the same school.

​​​​
It started when I found a box of old VHS tapes at home, packed with 12 hours of home videos from 2002–2004. Most were shot during our years in Morningside Heights while my dad studied at Columbia. I digitized the footage, sifted through every minute, and shaped it into a 7-minute piece told through small, everyday moments—our apartment, neighborhood walks, and the places that defined our time there.
​
The film is as much about Columbia as it is about family, memory, and the quiet beauty of starting a new chapter in a new place.
