Director, Producer and Writer – ‘Pushed’ January – April 2012

I wrote the 10-minute script and had students join my crew to make our 2^nd Year Fiction Film. It told the story of a girl in an abusive relationship that accidentally pushes her boyfriend down the stairs, resulting in his death as well as violent conflict between the girl and her friends. The most significant scene was the stairs stunt, where I contacted a stunt coordinator from the Welsh Royal College who strapped our actor up with ropes and harnesses, taking 4 hours to film.

 

Camera Assistant, Colourist and Editor - ‘Getting Lucky’, a Charity Film – February 2012

Together in a crew of 3 we made a 10-minute documentary about the work of Four Paws, an animal rescue in South Wales, who foster abandoned animals and send them to new homes. We followed the journey of one dog and focused the film around John, a worker at the center. It was extremely successful in bringing awareness to animal cruelty and we were rewarded with a warm applause at Chapters ‘Movie Maker’ event night.
