Hey there, this is me. Forgive my disheveled appearance.
Bachelor of Screen Arts
I worked as the Gaffer on this short film. My department is one i'd have considered myself already familiar with, but I could not foresee the depth of new skills I had to learn simply by virtue of filming outdoors in the dark. Away With The Faeries has given my appreciation for lighting a new depth, and is an experience I will carry throughout my career going forward to be sure.
Away With The Faeries is a Psychological Thriller inspired by the bloom and warmth of the 70’s Psychedelic era. As a young couple set up camp in the NZ bush, we can see the strain and tension on their relationship. When Chris goes off to find ingredients in the bush for dinner, he comes back with what he thinks are normal Porcini mushrooms. But after a big fight blows out and the characters go off to different parts of the bush they start to have visions of a fairy like nymph coming from the water, fire and all around them. They both learn things about themselves from this nymph and what ends in a violent and tragic event leads to the personal downfall for each of these characters.
