Director Statement

I wrote the short story 'Honeycomb' when I was 13 for a creative writing contest at my secondary school. Although it was close to winning, it was dismissed due to its sensitive subject matter of domestic abuse. Five years later, with my passion for film still alive, I took it upon myself to transform this important message into a moving image project. I challenged myself to film and edit everything in under 24 hours with little resources. It might not be perfect but for my first short film I'm very proud of myself and look forward to further projects I'll work on in the future.
