Hi, I’m Riel.
I am a Boston-based videographer and fabrication artist who tells immersive stories using live-action film, multimedia animation, and a broad range of prop-making and fabrication techniques. With 14 years’ experience to draw from, my works range from music videos, narrative shorts and sports events, to documentaries, educational promotions and feature-length productions.
My practice explores the liminal spaces between our familiar reality and the unknown worlds beyond through stories set in expansive universes, populated with impossible creatures and sympathetic monsters, and recounted with a surreal touch. I take particular joy in hand-crafting entire new worlds that can hold a mirror to our own.

I graduated in 2019 from Rhode Island School of Design with a BFA in Film, Animation and Video.
