The Dragon Under Our Feet

Iโ€™m thrilled to share a deeply personal project I’m working on in my 2025 SFFILM FilmHouse Residency โ€” and invite you to help make it happen.

Iโ€™m directing and producing a full-length documentary called The Dragon Under Our Feet, that follows my journey as a Bay Area artist reconnecting with my Armenian heritage through the art of traditional carpet weaving. What began as an exploration of ancient symbols has grown into a story about identity, resilience, and the fight to preserve culture.

In the film, I create a contemporary stained glass work inspired by centuries-old Armenian carpet motifs โ€” especially the dragon (vishap). Along the way, I meet weavers, elders, and historians in both California and Armenia, from refugee women in Goris weaving to support their families, to museum directors saving rare rugs from war. With these cultural experts as my guide, we uncover the stories these carpets carry โ€” and the questions they raise about heritage, connection, and survival.

Weโ€™ve launched a crowdfunding campaign to directly support filming in Armenia this September. Donations are tax-deductible. You can help by contributing or sharing the campaign with your community. Every gesture moves us closer to preserving and sharing these stories.

ARMAVENI: A YA Graphic Novel


ARMAVENI

A YA Graphic Novel
COMING MARCH 10, 2026 ~ Levine Querido
A Junior Library Guild Gold Standard Selection

A bold, autobiographical graphic novel chronicling one girlโ€™s quest to uncover her familyโ€™s history during the Armenian genocide.

Nadine loves stories and her mother loves to tell them — all but one. Nadine would give anything to learn about her family’s history in Armenia and Turkey –where they came from and how they came to America — but it is just too painful for her parents. All Nadine knows is that they were caught up in the Armenian genocide.

Until one day the dam bursts. And through that flood of stories and memories, and a trip back to their people’s homelands, Nadine discovers a key to unlocking her own heritage and the courage to speak up when injustice rears its head again. 

Told in interwoven historical, contemporary, and fantastical sequences, Armaveni is a gripping graphic novel debut and a much-needed historical document.
