I’m Amari Blair, a Film/Animation/Video student at Rhode Island School of Design, triple-tracking in live action, animation, and open media. My practice moves across filmmaking, art direction, production design, animation, documentary, and experimentation with mixed media and the moving image.
I’m interested in treating emotion, daydreams, and the unconscious with the same seriousness as reality. My work explores the space between the familiar and the surreal, often using constructed environments, visual storytelling, and material experimentation to externalize the internal. I’m drawn to the ways an image can communicate something that language cannot, and creating experiences that give form to feelings, thoughts, and imagined realities. Across different mediums, I use film and design as a way to explore the relationship between documentary, fiction, and fantasy.
Based in Boston & Providence
