FILMMAKER INTERVIEW

What do you want the audience to take away from the film?

I want people to be able to relate to at least one of the characters in the film, whether they’ve experienced a toxic relationship, or been the close friend of someone in one. I hope that my film inspires self empowerment and an appreciation for friendships.

Which scene did you have an absolute blast filming and why?

We had a blast filming the after party scene, mostly because we were actually blasting music along with the party lighting. The atmosphere was was very lively and realistic

Why are opportunities like Film Prize Junior important to students like you?

Film Prize Jr. gives low budget and amateur film-makers a place to show their work where it can be compared to similar competition. It inspires young film students to want to create more and grow their goals.

What obstacles challenged you and your crew the most when completing this film? What did you learn from making this short film?

One of the obstacles we faced was making sure we didn’t have any plotholes, and also audio. We would be editing and realize that we forgot a transition scene and we had to improvise. Also, some of the dialogue audio came out morphed but we did a lot of patchwork in post production.

What advice would you give to future participants in Film Prize Junior?

Make sure you have your story completely mapped out, and that you can envision every single shot you want to have.
