Bachelor of Screen Arts
I contributed to Screen Arts projects in 2023 as a Writer, Director, Editor, Producer, Data Wrangler, and Second Camera Assistant. In my lead project ‘Got the Spirit’, I was thrilled to Co-Direct with Tom Lewis and highlight the skills and talent of my amazing crew, and to have the opportunity to collaborate on my original story. I’m proud to have been part of so many creatively impactful projects this year.
When amateur DJ Dan dies unexpectedly, his girlfriend Paris is secretly relieved she never had to break up with him. Unfortunately, Dan returns as a ghost — believing his unfinished business is to fix their relationship, the last thing Paris needs. Got the Spirit is a dramedy about conflict avoidance, embarrassing boyfriends, and how romance in your 20s collides with identity. Sometimes, an exorcism feels easier than talking about your feelings…
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.
Nokia Low is a short film drama that details a toxic, codependent relationship. Michael supports him and his girlfriend, Jasmine. Jasmine is an addict, and depends on Michael to fund her expensive addiction. Michael loves her, and knows if she keeps using, she will die. But he cannot bring himself to deny her the money. Because he is obsessed with the fear that she will leave him if he does.
