Tent City
New stop motion short film, senior thesis released Spring 2023!
Tent City is a poetic, observational look on homelessness and housing insecurity in our community. As a California native I have seen first hand the large, fast-growing homeless population in the greater SoCal area. The LA Times reported a sharp increase of the homeless population from 39,414 in 2011 to the staggering number 58,938 in 2019 in Los Angeles County alone. As of 2019 California has reached the sobering number 151,278. This is a humanitarian crisis on the streets of America and it is time we take notice to all members in our community. I hope that my senior film will help bring awareness to this growing crisis, invoke strong discussion and start real change.
