I Am Anatomy

Director of Photography: Mike Boctor

Mission
A cadaveric dissection may seem uninteresting until the right filmmaker is able to evolve the complexity and intrigue of it. Our mission was to turn a poorly-lit, cramped lab into an aesthetically cinematic picture in order to illustrate the beauty of the study of anatomy
Dual Passion
Working in a team of two, I combined my artistic expertise with my passion for medical sciences. I hope to continue this duality throughout my career.
Reveal beauty, value, and depth…
… within absolutely everything
Outcome
The film won the first place prize for "Best Video” in a national competition. Additionally, in response to the video, Michigan Medical School's anatomy lab was given a $40,000 grant to fund further developments of film/video
