Director Statement

As a fan of the post-apocalyptic genre, I've always enjoyed the details of world building. With Faith, it was important for me to create a short film that relied heavily on suspense and focused on character development with a female lead.

It was also important that the cast and crew did not compromise on the quality of what we were creating, so every member aimed for a cinematic standard.

Making Faith was a challenge for me as a filmmaker, but I'm in no doubt that this is only the beginning of a journey!
