Short Film | Writer–Director | Shot on 16mm

London Film School Production

Director’s Note

Saturday was an exploration of memory as interruption. I wanted to contrast the permanence of classical portraiture with the fragility of lived experience. Shooting on 16mm allowed texture and imperfection to mirror the character’s psychological unrest.

The wire sculpture becomes both structure and restraint — a physical manifestation of something unfinished. The film examines how creative practice often becomes a safe container for confronting emotional residue.

This project marked an early investigation into how visual composition and performance can carry internal conflict without exposition — an approach that continues in my feature work.

Director’s Note

In the Shadows explores internal conflict through heightened physical metaphor. I was interested in translating emotional repression into something tactile and visual — allowing the body to carry what the character cannot verbalize.

The late-night basketball court becomes both arena and confession space, where repetition mirrors unresolved thought. The surreal element of rose petals grounds the film in vulnerability rather than spectacle, revealing softness beneath the intensity.

This project deepened my exploration of internal tension expressed visually — an approach that continues in my feature development, where emotional shifts are staged through behavior and rhythm rather than exposition.

LUNA LLENA

Short Film | 2021 | Writer–Director

Huelga Media Productions

Director’s Note

Luna Llena began as an exploration of emotional projection — the way we escape into idealized versions of love when reality feels overwhelming. I was interested in staging intimacy through absence: how fantasy softens discomfort, and how clarity only arrives when avoidance collapses.

Visually, the film contrasts grounded domestic spaces with heightened dream sequences, allowing performance and framing to reveal what the character cannot articulate. The emotional engine is internal — a pattern of escape that quietly reshapes the relationship.

These themes continue to inform my feature development, where characters confront the habits protecting them from intimacy.
