Current Work
This is just a small snapshot of my current work.
01
Me and My Vegan Friend
For this project, I set out to tell a story through a non-traditional transmedia lens and utilise the social media platform. This tells the story of the tension between two friends who move in together and the challenges of living away from home with roommates. I wanted the audience to act like a third character in this story interacting with the characters. Ideally, this would be a live project that is constantly updating. It would have a full Instagram page and interact with other pages. The audience would also be able to interact with the characters.
02
Latte Art
This is a short film workplace comedy set in a cafe. It follows two employees, Emma and Alison, as they get a new manager. This manager is a micro-managing, controlling and rude manager. This short film follows Emma and Alison's first day of work with their new manager, Polly.
03
Talk About It
This series of photographs follows the theme of ‘Emotions and things you can’t quite explain’. I wanted to show what things like anxiety, depression, stress and other things look like to me. The idea of ‘sonder’ and feeling stuck has also always been an idea I’ve loved. Sonder is the sudden realisation that other people have a life as complex as your own. As a filmmaker and person who used TV to escape a lot, this idea of being the main character and having ‘background’ actors on their own show is very appealing to me.
