Gyani Pradhan Wong Ah Sui \u201924 puts life under their lens<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n Gyani Pradhan Wong Ah Sui ’24 (right) works on screen studies set construction.\n

<\/p>\n

Gyani Pradhan Wong Ah Sui was enamored by film long before they started studying it. Watching credits scroll across a screen left Pradhan Wong Ah Sui with a sense of awe.<\/p>\n

“You’re putting artists together from all forms — acting, cinematography, music, color —different disciplines merging into one product that’s arguably greater than the sum of its parts,” says the screen studies<\/a> major. “I was excited by that and the idea of a community of people that comes together to create. Those two things sent me down a rabbit hole.”<\/p>\n

Pradhan Wong Ah Sui’s honors thesis film<\/a>, The Moving Room<\/a>, is a self-written, produced, and directed semi-autobiographical work contemplating their move from Sikkim to the U.S. in 2017. They also directed the film “Long Play,”<\/a> had art exhibited in the ArtsWorcester 20th Annual College Show<\/a>, and spent a summer in Sikkim, India, documenting what it means to be home in a series of 600 film photographs, a project funded by the Steinbrecher Fellowship Program<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Their next venture is a collaborative film project. A group of Clark students received a $10,000 Projects for Peace award<\/a> to document the experiences of young people in Central Mexico amid the uncertainty of climate change. The video project is an offshoot of a major National Science Foundation-funded climate change research study<\/a> that is led by Professor Tim Downs. Wong Ah Sui and Nicole Overbaugh ’24 (a frequent co-collaborator) will handle pre- and post-production work such as editing, outreach, and scheduling.<\/p>\n

“Even if you’re not majoring in an art field, everyone should be able to see the potential to express themselves through art,” Pradhan Wong Ah Sui says.<\/p>\n

Stay tuned:<\/strong> A photo essay documenting Gyani’s meditations on “home” is forthcoming.<\/em><\/p>\n
