Being the co-writer and editor for The Feast has been a rewarding collaborative experience. I first wrote a dark and meaningful script alongside the director about losing a loved one to addiction. Then, in the edit, I reshaped the story in creative and unexpected ways that didn’t occur in the script, in order to tell the most effective story I could with what we filmed.

The Feast is a live-action horror short film following siblings Lucy and Sam as they return to their childhood home where their reclusive mother resides. They soon discover that untold horrors have come to haunt her, and must face a vile demonic force before they lose their mother for good.
