Additional Information

Oversaw a dedicated three-member film crew and collaborated closely with three talented actors to bring my short film "Echoes of Tomorrow" to life. This involved meticulously planning each shooting day, coordinating logistics, and ensuring that the artistic vision was clearly communicated and executed on set. Through effective leadership and team collaboration, we successfully navigated the challenges of production to create a compelling narrative that resonated with audiences.

Submissions

I have submitted my short film, "Echoes of Tomorrow," to three prestigious film festivals through Film Freeway. As of now, all three submissions are in the "In Consideration" stage, where they are being evaluated by the respective selection committees. I'm eagerly anticipating feedback from these festivals, as they are known for showcasing innovative and compelling narratives. Each festival offers a unique opportunity for exposure and networking within the film industry, and I am excited about the potential for my work to reach a wider audience.
