It’s so hard to choose… When having the 2 best pitches!


 Hello, the following are pitches my friends and I have come up with for the upcoming short film we are making in which I will be the lead actor.



Yes?No?-(Pitch A): As one of the lead actors of our upcoming short film, I am thrilled to share a pitch for the intense narrative that will unfold in our possible project, "In the Shadows." The story revolves around a 16-year-old high school girl, portrayed by ou friend Sarah, who embarks on a seemingly ordinary trip to a corner store for snacks. The atmosphere quickly takes a chilling turn as Sarah's character, played by me, becomes the unsuspecting target of a sinister kidnapper, Brayden, my real-life close friend. The juxtaposition of our genuine friendship against the backdrop of an intense, suspenseful plot adds a layer of authenticity to the narrative. 


Yes?No?-(Pitch B): This dramatic tale follows the role of a female soccer phenom who makes it to her dreams of the big leagues. The actress portrayed will be me, Sarah. Things take a turn as I sustain an injury during a practice preparing me for the upcoming season turns out to be a major injury leading to thoughts of self-doubt and depression. Coupled with a coach that is nothing like she is anticipated she has a moral dilemma on her hands about her passion for the sport.


Final Decision/Why?: After careful consideration, we have decided to move forward with "In the Shadows" as our chosen project. This decision is driven by both creative and practical considerations. The compelling story-line, coupled with the authentic performances anticipated from me and Brayden, aligns well with our vision for a suspenseful and visually engaging short film. Moreover, the absence of an adult actor to play the coach in "For the Love of Ball" poses a practical challenge that makes "In The Shadows" a more feasible and exciting choice for our team. We look forward to bringing this intense and suspenseful narrative to life with the talent and enthusiasm of our dedicated cast and crew.

1. How do your  products  represent social groups or issues? Together, my group and I made a short film about a young girl who gets stalked and abducted. It is meant to be a reflection on the larger social issue of gender-based violence and the widespread anxiety it causes in women. In the video we emphasize the vulnerability that many women encounter on a daily basis, especially while partaking in seemingly harmless hobbies like running, through the protagonist's terrifying experience. In our film, the male stalker, portrayed by me, stands in for the stereotypical predatory male, highlighting the risks associated with toxic masculinity and the objectification of women. Through a realistic and sympathetic portrayal of the protagonist's suffering, the film seeks to provoke thought and increase awareness of the pressing need for societal reform to address these challenges. The film's website and postcard offer further channels for interaction by informing viewers about the fi...

  I'm happy to inform that my group and I have finally finished filming our final video project, and the results are nothing short of stunning after weeks of hard work and commitment. This trip, while had its share of difficulties and learning curves, ended with a victory that well above our expectations.This time around, unlike the first time we filmed, everything appeared to go together perfectly. Equipped with a well-defined vision and an astute sense of direction, we skillfully and confidently maneuvered through the filming process. Simplifying our method of filming was one of the biggest changes we made. We had a well thought-out plan in place, so we knew exactly what kind of material and photos we would need to make our story come to life. With so much less time spent filming because to this newfound clarity, we were able to concentrate on capturing true and emotionally charged moments. Even though we were filming at the same park as before, we took a "less is more"...
