Filmed my first ever short film that I wrote, produced and acted in and couldn’t be happier! I am so full of love and gratitude and my cup is so full!!!
JUST DIGITS 💋

Couldn’t have done it without the phenomenal @kacey.baker who was our DOP and Director. He is simply the funniest wizard and this film came to life with him!

A special shoutout to @annapatch_ for being such a massive help to me behind the scenes. It was my first short film and her guidance and help organising through pre production meant so much 🫶🏻

BTS and content by the amazing @emma.johno @ej_photography27
And the all round crew support @stephanielee.soul who was our right hand throughout the day and our amazing meditation guru 🧘‍♀️

I love and appreciate all of you so so much!!

Really loved the result of this scene with @genevievebrock . I shot it using @blazarlens.official , recorded it with @rodemic and captured using @sonycine . Gene’s comedic timing belongs on Netflix 👍🏻 Acheiving this as a solo shooter is a testament to how far technology has come 🎥🎙️📺
