Brooklyn filmmaker creating emotionally layered Stories molded by survival, silence, and the truths we are taught to bury.
Featured Project
Directorial Debut
A gifted teenager spirals under grief and life's crushing blows as his unstable father resurfaces, demanding custody, awakening his mother's protection from beyond the grave.
Lavender Claws is a narrative art house horror short written by Jennifer Dottin-Rossi. The film questions how far the spirit will go to protect what the world keeps breaking, and the cost of finally breaking that silence. Through an intimate, atmospheric visual language, viewers are immersed in the worlds shaped by loss, violence, illness, and isolation, where unspoken pain leaves its stain on identity.
