"6 Minutes and 45 Seconds" Short Film for a University of Texas at Austin Advanced Narrative Production Class (August-December 2025) Writer, Director, and Producer.
This film has yet to be released to the public because it is currently doing a festival run. This project has been the most challenging and rewarding piece of work I've ever completed. With the horrific pattern of gun violence in America and having to go through my K-12 years worried if I was really safe at school or not, I wrote this short film not only to advocate against gun violence but also to help others see through the perspective of a present-day teen. I am extremely excited to soon share it with the world.
