Manari is a near-abandoned Greek village that was once home to hundreds of people. Today, only 11 remain, all of whom are in their eighties and nineties. Vaso and Vaso, lifelong friends and residents of Manari, find themselves at a difficult crossroads: Who will take care of their village after they are gone?

Yia Yia and Papou (2022) is a reversal and expansion of Yia Yia and Papou: A Story of Perseverance (2021). In this new version, two generations of Greek and Macedonian Americans unravel and reminisce about their family's history.

Without the resources for injury management and prevention, it can be difficult to succeed in an industry that is demanding on the body. Athletes in Heels (2022) follows the daily regimen of a Musical Theater student and calls for greater support needed to be an artist and an athlete.
