Bachelor of Creative Media Production

I worked as Editor on two short films, Can't Beat Wellington and Take Them Swimming. The role allowed me to dive into new technical and creative aspects of filmmaking. Working across two completely different projects allowed me to learn distinct editing styles specific to genre, and benefit from working with multiple creative leaders. Being part of these projects has inspired me to keep moving toward my aspirations to become an Editor and Director in future.

Can’t Beat Wellington on a Good Night is a bold and picturesque journey of two strangers who, overwhelmed by the chaos of the city, slowly fall into sync through the language of dance. Captivated by the nightlife of Wellington and fueled by emotion, can the community be the help they need to confront their fears?

Take Them Swimming is a short film giving insight into the trials and tribulations of navigating change as a young woman in the modern world. In this funny and exhausting adventure, Tilly finds herself evaluating what is really important to her, and how she can fulfil herself amidst flights, fights, feelings, and... catfish.
