Bachelor of Screen Arts

I was the Writer, Director and Editor for Facade. Creating this project and getting to carry it through to the final stages alongside a talented crew has been such a rewarding experience. I have learnt a lot about pitching, directing and post-production workflow that will improve my filmmaking in the future. Moving forward I want to carry these skills into working as a videographer and/or editor on Music Videos and more.

Facade follows two young adults living with chronic pain (Fibromyalgia and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome) as they discuss a first date and a new job over a picnic lunch. Although they live with difficult health conditions, these girls choose humour as a way to cope with life and support each other. We jump back and forth, from the present time at the picnic, to flashbacks, as the girls discuss their lives.
