Films I have Made

Here are two films I have written, directed and edited in the past year or so. The first film is a short that I decided to do over the summer with my friends, Katy and James from collage, during the time the film was for me to generally try different angles and different effects, but to also have a go at doing a very strange and abnormal story. I was generally pleased with the finished film, despite some mistakes here and there, but I feel that I failed to make the story more understandable and audiences were left utterly confused at what exactly happens during the film, in short I was simply trying to be too smart with the writing.


Inside the Box Short Film

A few months after finishing Inside the Box, my media course in Collage acquired us to create a ten minute short film and I decided to use an idea that I had playing around for my head for some time, a simple yet complicated situation, where a man has tried to live through life, but doesn't see the point in living anymore, so he decides to commit suicide, but finds out that he is immortal and cannot die. Every time he dies, he simply wakes up and walks off, so the film is about how he could change his ways with a help from his friend.


With this film I decided to focus mainly on the story and characters and I feel that I was trying to explore if people can really change who they are, or are they cursed to forever be the same. My team and myself ran into quite a few problems with this short film, this is due to weather, actors timetables and the general workload of the end of the year that I faced many re-writes of the script to keep production going and to have a full film in the end, I gained quite a few experiences with this production, but mostly from working with actual actors for the first time instead of my friends from collage. I was only given one piece of advise from the main actor Mark, he said that I was "too nice" of a director and should try to be more forceful, so I tried to keep that in mind


Living at Deaths Door short film

I enjoyed making these two short films and I do hope you enjoy watching them, but I always constantly see little things that I could have done different or I am just not happy with, but I think that is how people get better with their work/art, you have to constantly hate your own work, otherwise you will have no hunger for trying to be better.
