Her short films Kitty Kitty, Thank You, and Cowards, short documentary Tabby Tobias One Meatball Aloysius T. McKeever Sebeck Junior and web series A Person Named Universal Love, have been featured in online-indie-film spheres such as MUBI, NoBudge, and Directors Notes. Cowards was also screened at The IFC Center in New York.
