Bachelor of Creative Media Production

As Art Director for our short film Extra Credit, I was in charge of costumes, props and set design. This was something I was really keen to get involved with, particularly for this project as a women-led story and production team. I wanted to challenge the one-dimensional stereotype of young women in film, and use costume to portray characters who are funny, fierce, and multifaceted.

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.
