Martin McPhee

For my 3rd year major project, Extra Credit, I had a main role as editor, as well as, lighting designer and assistant gaffer. While I had a few obstacles, both technical and narrative, I enjoyed leading the post production team and having creative input into the film. Working on this project gave me new technical and logistical skills and I hope people enjoy the look, style and comedy of the film.

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.
