THE PROCESS:
I made this short film as a part of my senior capstone film festival. It had its official premiere with an audience of approximately two hundred people in the campus theatre at Marymount Manhattan College. I had four months to really pull this thing together on top of dealing with other classes that also had a hefty work load, plus making sure everyone's schedules aligned. It was challenging, but I did it. I had to edit together footage as I was shooting in order to make a project like this and still meet the deadline. My ability to come up with creative solutions has sharpened by making this film. I'm excited to translate that skill into future projects.
