the story of Per Tempvs
time is relative to the
objects that define it
Per Tempus—Latin for “through time”—is the name I work under as a filmmaker. It reflects my interest in using the camera to observe, document, and preserve moments that might otherwise pass unnoticed. The name also speaks to my belief that film is a tool for shaping and recording the experience of time.
