Director Biography - Marcelese Cooper
I'm an artist and an educator who works mostly with the materials of mythos and story, archiving members of an online community but also myself in times of reflection. I make films because its my favorite means of reflection that includes others in the process. Making films regardless of the format/approach is hard work and sometimes when you're tired and stressed about deadlines or reshoots it reeeally f**king sucks but I can always say I love it.
