ZENITH

A mysterious plane crash occurs and it's similar to an accident 7 years ago, through which a young journalist lost her brother. Using her past investigations, she strives to search for truthful answers beyond superficial explanations. Simultaneously, 3 teenagers wake up in an abandoned and obsolete world, which an acquaintance calls 'Zenith'. A radio connection occurs between the journalist and the teenagers, and they unravel the mysteries of the world in order to find their way out. For the journalist, this becomes her one chance to find out what really happened.

Director Statement

This project ('Zenith') is my very first independent feature film - I made it outside of my school film course with a cast made up from my school's theatre students. Overall, it was a process that took 16 months - finalising the project with a small, private premiere at a local cinema! It was a wonderful experience for me as I got to learn filmmaking independently and on quite a big scale, and my passion for film continues to grow as a result!
