Bachelor of Creative Media Production

During my final year, I led the creative and technical aspects of the project ‘Finding the Lighthouse’ as the writer and director. I ensured that my vision for ‘Finding the Lighthouse’ was well communicated throughout all departments during all the stages of production. This involved development of the script, working with the actors for their performance, and ensuring my vision was well portrayed in the pacing and tone in post-production.
Overall this year has been one I will not forget. I have had the opportunity to work with some amazing people from cast to crew, and I look forward to the opportunities this film can offer me in the future.

Finding the Lighthouse is a heartwarming short drama following two estranged sisters who must overcome their differences while on a journey to spread their mother’s ashes at a lighthouse. Our film is honest and true, with our authentic voices fueling the representation, struggles and choices of the characters. Finding the Lighthouse shines a light on humility and human connection and is a strong film that will impact a large audience, providing sentimental value, empathy and empowerment for LGBT+ communities and women around the world.
