Bachelor of Screen Arts

I worked as DOP on two films; When You See Me and Wizard Mischief, and as a camera assistant on Façade. Within these roles I developed technical skills alongside my creative identity, wherein I engaged with an eclectic range of films delivering messages for different audiences. The experience of working across three sets was a stimulating challenge that helped build my adaptability for working amidst distinct styles of creative direction.

When You See Me is a whimsical sapphic romance short film that follows the love story between a poet and a painter. Leilani realises her feelings for Maeve, her best friend, goes beyond their close friendship. But with Maeve set to move halfway across the country. She must decide whether to speak those feelings or silence her heart.

Wizard Mischief is an absurdist, neo-gothic short film about wizards, imps and fairies. It follows Lucy, a cruel and impulsive wizard, as she is followed by mischievous imps and culminates with a confrontation with the Fairy Queen over the grave of her mother.

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.
