Assistant Camera

Working in the camera department for the second year in a row has been a brilliant opportunity for me to develop my creative and technical skills, marking myself in major cinematography role.Having previously worked as a DOP and 2nd AC on previous projects, I wanted to learn the creative and technical demands that are required for a 1st AC and a focus puller, like constructing the camera and pulling focus. This had creative impacts on the story, while also giving me the responsibility of upholding the visual style that was carefully decided by the camera department with the director. From researching films for inspiration in developing the visual style, we worked very hard in creating it, paying tribute to many post apocalyptic genre films. I was also a camera operator for certain sequences which developed my cinematography skills further. Working with the DOP, Director and gaffers has been a brilliant experience as everyone has been working together collaboratively which made suggesting ideas much more enjoyable, and my creative contributions much more worthwhile. In short, I couldn’t have asked for a better crew to make this film with. I had so much fun creating a project where we put absolutely everything into it, in hopes of making something that is truly cinematic, and I hope that when you watch it, you can appreciate it too!

Production Designer

Being the set designer for ALAIL has been such an exciting opportunity. I love creating things and bringing sets to life through costume and set decoration to really engulf the audience in the story. Being set during the zombie apocalypse, I have had so much fun creating this apocalyptic world for the characters to explore. Sourcing sustainable props, costumes and set dressings has not only helped me to make the sets look more worn and tarnished but also reduced our pollution, so we don’t end up like our zombies! I have used inspiration from so many famous films and TV shows, and it’s given me a new eye for details within film that most people wouldn’t even notice when it’s in shot, but would definitely notice when it’s missing, and creating such ambiance is great to see on set and on screen. Working alongside an amazing team, this film has been brought to life on the big screen, and it’s been an amazing experience. 

Editor

As Long As I Live was by far the most ambitious film I have worked on. Being the editor I enjoyed building and creating emotion through the beautiful pictures provided by the camera department. I have learned how to work in a bigger post production team, getting 5+ different people involved into creating VFX sets and 3D models, was not an easy team to manage but made everything so much better in the film. We challenged ourselves to bring a high value production to the set compiling layers of VFX, we used Motion Capture and 3D scanning for the first time and it was amazing to get a better understanding on how these programs work! To resume this I thank this project and the director for letting me be so free and creative on the post production letting me explore some boundaries and new ideas!

Sound

I was the sound designer for ALAIL, and this was my first real experience working in sound design. I used FL Studio to create original soundscapes — building drones, layering ambient textures, and designing effects that helped shape the atmosphere and tone of the film. From quiet, suspenseful moments to intense sequences, I wanted the sound to play an active role in telling the story. I worked closely with the director and editing team to make sure each audio detail added to the emotional impact and pacing. My inspiration came from a mix of sources — films like Oppenheimer showed me how silence and subtlety can build tension, while games like The Last of Us taught me how sound can immerse an audience completely. This project pushed me creatively and technically, and it was a great chance to learn what sound can really do in storytelling. I’m proud of how it all came together, and even more grateful to have worked with such a talented and driven team.
