DIRECTING
Directing What On Earth was a huge challenge. As my final graduate project, the pressure was on, and I often had to step into multiple roles to ensure everything ran smoothly. Organisation was essential, and I frequently had to think creatively to solve problems on the go. Despite the challenges, the experience taught me a great deal about leadership, adaptability, and collaboration. Most importantly, I'm incredibly proud of what our team achieved together.
ON-SET PROBLEM SOLVING
LEADING LARGE CREW
PRODUCTION COORDINATION
I CAN'T POO was my first group project as both a writer and director. To keep everyone aligned with my vision, I relied heavily on storyboards and visual references, which were invaluable on set. I also organised the shot list efficiently, allowing us to complete a two-day shoot in just one day. While there are many aspects of the project that I would approach differently now, it was our first major production and an invaluable learning experience for everyone involved. Looking back, I'm proud of what we achieved and of the lessons it taught us about collaboration and filmmaking.
VISUAL STORYTELLING
EFFICIENT SHOT PLANNING
COLLABORATIVE LEADERSHIP
For Wake Up, I wanted to create something ambitious and elaborate. Through careful planning, organisation, and determination, I was able to bring that vision to life. It was the first large-scale project I produced entirely on my own, which made it both challenging and incredibly rewarding. While my camera work wasn't my strongest skill at the time (I've improved a lot since then!), the experience taught me so much about managing a production. Coordinating a large cast and relying on the support of my family for audio and other aspects of the shoot made it a truly memorable project, and one I'm still very proud of today.
END-TO-END FILM PRODUCTION
ACTOR DIRECTION
ADAPTABILITY ACROSS ROLES
Visiting Hours was a fun and enriching project. Working closely with my parents was a great experience, and they were surprisingly very good to work with. As a director, my goal was to create something emotionally resonant that would truly make the audience feel something. This project helped me open up my creativity and further develop my production skills. I remember shooting it with a sense of calm and happiness rather than stress, which made the whole experience especially enjoyable. Hearing from people who watched it that it moved them to tears or left them with watery eyes reassured me that I had achieved what I set out to do.
