What did I do ? Good question. Writer, actor, director, producer, editor

I thought about this film as I was looking for a job out of university. I felt stuck, like a disappointment. It wasn't until I learned to enjoy the "middle" part that things got easier.
I think we retract back to our inner child when uncertain. Our deepest passions are often rooted in our simple joys from youth. Take Alex: eating her preprepared meals, playing with legos, and spinning in a chair. I love to capture little moments; it's the space in between that makes a story for me.

This was my most successful short, with a dozen film festival recognitions and screenings from Los Angeles to Montréal. See links below.
Several shots in this short were filmed with a Kowa B&H 2x Anamorphic lens paied with Helios 44-2 lens, which are wider than a traditional lens. As young Alex is interviewing for jobs, this lens aims to portray the perspective of a computer camera, almost as if Alex is being interviewed by the viewer.
