At the Anderson Center, Lily completed production and post-production work on Mazu, mid-length essay/experimental film that blends 2D collage animation with original footage, recordings and research conducted on a 2019 trip to Taiwan during the Dajia Mazu Pilgrimage.

Lily facilitated different exercises and offer prompts as participants cut/blacked out images from miscellaneous magazines, books, and papers in order to patchwork and glue them into creative new arrangements.
