As 1st assistant camera on the short film Extra Credit, my role consisted of focus pulling, changing lenses and setting up/packing down the camera equipment. I have always loved the practical side of being behind the camera and although I found focus pulling challenging at first it was an exciting new experience in which I have gained new skills that will be applicable to similar experiences in the future.

Extra Credit is a dark comedy short film that explores the unique beauty in young friendships. The story follows two teenage girls who are about to graduate and leave their dead-end town, desperate to stay together. Reckless and broke, they decide to rob their local petrol station, where unwittingly, they are the least experienced criminals in the room.
