"Project 198" Film Concept

As part of a team, I contributed to “Project 198”, a science fiction narrative inspired by themes from The Matrix, 1984, and The Giver. The project culminated in a trailer that presented the story’s key narrative points in a nonlinear sequence, designed to captivate and intrigue audiences while conveying the tone and overarching narrative.

Working on the writing team, I helped craft the story using Truby’s 22 steps as a structural guide, carefully organizing the narrative elements and then rearranging them to fit the trailer’s nonlinear approach. Using a combination of digital tools and hands-on methods like sticky notes, we collaboratively refined the trailer script to ensure an engaging and logical flow.

In addition to script development, I contributed to post-production by color-correcting two key clips in HitFilm Express, ensuring visual consistency before passing the clips to the editing team.

This project was particularly rewarding as it was my first experience working within a specialized role on a large, multi-phase production. While relinquishing creative control after script development was a new challenge, seeing the other teams bring our narrative to life through visuals and editing was deeply satisfying.
