So honored and excited to finally share that @neondreamsfilm has been selected for MPI’s 2026 Documentary Storytelling Workshop. It’s been so inspiring to be mentored by Academy Award–nominated director and cinematographer @e.sylvia.mirzaei. I truly leave every meeting with so many valuable skills and inspired by my fellow cohorts. Along with the workshop, @neondreamsfilm will recieve a grant from @movingpictureinstitute.
I’m deeply grateful for the chance to keep developing this film and to continue telling the story of my family, their legacy, and the disappearing craft of Neon.
Thank you, @movingpictureinstitute, for believing in @neondreamsfilm . ✨

Almost ten years ago, I filmed my first interview with my parents about neon. It was a film school assignment then, but I did not know what I was making would become the beginning of something larger.
We exhibited this piece as part of an art installation at the Neon Dreams fundraiser. I repurposed that original audio and stills from our family archive, alongside 8mm footage I shot a few weeks ago of my mom bending neon glass again.
Neon Dreams is a love letter to my family and the handmade craft they built with their hands over the years. It is also me stepping closer, finally ready to sit down with my mom, dad, uncles, and grandmother to record their stories and preserve their craft through my own craft of filmmaking.

Our first Salon was so special. 🥹🫶🏽
It was so beautiful to bring together women in my life who I admire, and to watch them make progress on their work while forming new connections with each other. Thank you again, @meadowhlp ❤️
My hope is to keep expanding this community and welcome more women into the next one. DM us if you’d like to host us!
Can’t wait for the next one. Details soon.✨

If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden.

Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed?
