As a fanatic of dark stories, the filter for whether or not a film makes it onto my list of favourites seems to be whether or not the characters suffer enough to achieve significant personal development.

My three graduation films were a perfect match for our specialist trio: a low-light cinematography specialist, a blood-and-guts production designer and myself. These films gave me the chance to sonically create feelings of dread and discomfort in the audience.

Throughout my degree, I’ve developed into a team-player and excellent communicator, while honing my interest in editing and post-production. Some of my best skills are in perseverance and keeping my mind sharp in creative pursuits outside of filmmaking, through sewing, food, art and dance.

During lockdown, I have taken some time to challenge myself through continued language learning alongside work. Working remotely has strengthened my resourcefulness and creative problem-solving, preparing me for immediate industry entry.
