For my senior thesis Media Studies capstone project at Pitzer College, I served as Director, Producer, Editor, and Creative Lead on a six-minute short film, culminating my undergraduate studies.

Since its release in May, the film has screened at multiple film festivals across the San Francisco Bay Area.

Process & Production

Pre-Production

Developed the story and shot list, assembled the crew, and created a master production schedule using Google Sheets to track locations, cast availability, and logistics.

Production

Led a three-day shoot, managing permits, on-set logistics, and contingency planning while directing cast and crew.

Post-Production

Edited the film in Adobe Premiere Pro and After Effects, completing color grading and final delivery for festival submissions.

Film Screening

I organized and promoted the end-of-semester capstone screening, designing graphics using Photoshop and Canva and leading outreach efforts that resulted in 350+ attendees, the largest turnout for a student screening.
