PORTFOLIO

Covering the last four years of creative development, the following demonstrates and explores all of my previous experience and work in media. The collection includes a mix of both scholastic work, developed over the course of my degree, as well as personal projects as well.

PREVIOUS PROJECTS

Throughout my career as a filmmaker, I’ve had extensive experience working in post-production. This facet of the process is where I feel my biggest passions and a clear demonstration of my skill developments shine.

The examples below mostly demonstrate my scholastic experience as studying in Media Arts and Production has generously allowed me to work with different mediums, programs and equipment in order to find my favourites and develop my skills.

In this production I specialised as the Editor and Colourist, wrangling footage from the end of each shoot day and then, in conjunction with our Director Bailey Pulepule, assembling and cutting the final piece for submission. While definitely not my first experience as an editor, some of the technical restrictions of my own equipment many that I’d had to learn how to use programs such as After Effects and Davinci Resolve on the fly while in production, something that was high pressure in the moment but ultimately bettered my skills and the final film.

Holding On (2024) - Editor | Colour Grader

Questions And… (2024) - 1st Assistant Director

Questions And… had me specialise as the 1st Assistant Director, working with Anna Chierchia, who I'm collaborating with again in Circuitus as my Producer. While a lot more admin-based in comparison to a Writer or Editor, it provided extremely valuable experience and gave me an idea of the more pragmatic and logistical side of the filmmaking process, handling call sheets, scheduling and time-efficiency on set.

Blue (2024) - Script/Continuity Supervisor | Camera Assist

Blue has definitely improved my on-set efficiency, as well as how I work with others in a high-pressure situation that is production days. I was already proficient, however my skills had leaned towards more post-production before Blue, so I very much had to adapt my thinking on the fly towards a different sector of the process, and I think by the end of it, working with Trinity Macann, the Director and now my 1st AD, I’ve become. a better collaborator overall.

PHOTOGRAPHY

More of a hobby than a dedicated skill, I still like to use photography to train my visual eye and keep my colour and composition skills sharp.

PAST PROJECTS AS A SCREENWRITER

Similarly, I harbour great passion for screenwriting. Even when I was a child, I’ve always loved to tell stories, although I hope that I have improved in my craft since my scribbles in cheap notebooks.

I find great joy in telling stories, especially when they concern themes and ideas that resonate within my life. As an open lesbian and non-binary person, I tend to favour queer stories in effort to represent all aspects of the lesbian experience, as I’ve decided that it’s far more productive to write the stories I want to see then to wait for them.

COLOUR GRADING

I enjoy using DaVinci Resolve Pro to enhance the colour and feel of my work - wether it be to bring life, depth and colour from LOG footage or to stylise my work.
