    I enjoyed participating in SIFFF 2022, showcasing three short films. Joell was always pleasant and excellent in details and information. Looking forward to 2023 :)

    Amazing experience for my first time really was an honor to be nominated and to have my model get nominated for Best actress / model and with no script ! Pretty amazing for us . Was crew of 3 people and low budget . My DO and lighting assistant we all wore many hats for this impromptu film 🎥 This film was definitely the underdog of Fashion Films . Perhaps add a catagory for most well down film for limited crew and best Concept with no budget !!
