Behind the scenes video for short film Nokia Low
Bachelor of Screen Arts
I worked as a First Assistant Director on two short films, Nokia Low and Away With The Faeries. This role involved me scheduling and planning each shoot day for the two projects. On set, I was looking after cast and crew and keeping time to make sure we were shooting in a timely matter. Working on both films was a hugely rewarding experience and I hope to continue this work in the future.
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.
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.
