Bachelor of Screen Arts
This year I worked across multiple projects as Co-Director on Got the Spirit, DP on Flat Rat, and Gaffer on Facade, while also lighting assisting on other projects. Experimenting with varied roles grew my confidence across the board and developed my practice technically and creatively. I loved the opportunity to collaborate with teams of my friends, facing numerous challenges together and making professional products which we can be proud of.
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…
Based on a true story, Flat Rat is a 9min dark comedy about three flatmates who have their bond tested when they’re pressured into killing a rat. This film tells a silly and grim story about friendship, social responsibility, and growing up. Through the laughs, we want to make you squirm, provide a sense of perspective, and remind everybody to find joy in the rat’s nest.
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.
