Ctrl Alt Del (2017) follows intertwining relationships in Los Angeles, navigating issues of gender inequality, the misuse of power, and familial pressure, until they shift into something different and unexpected. Sometimes I Dream in Farsi (2024) explores the lasting effects of racism and trauma and the journey toward healing.
