    Beneath the silence

    Beneath the Silence is a 15-minute short film that I wrote, directed, choreographed, and edited. The film highlights my focus on visual storytelling, emotional depth, and detailed production planning, blending performance, dance choreography, and cinematic atmosphere to create a compelling narrative.

    Beneath the Silence was selected for the University of Kent Annual Film Festival as one of the best student works of the year, demonstrating my ability to lead creative projects from concept to final edit while showcasing versatility across directing, performance coordination, and technical filmmaking skills.
