EMERSON / PCA GBFA - SPRING 2026

ROLES:

• Producer

• Director

• Screenplay Writer

• Editer

I was the writer, director, and editor for this short film. I explored the idea of career obsession taking over in ones self and the toll it can take on a relationship. Through the story of Chrissy and Marcus, a toxic couple hiking to a picturesque lake. While Chrissy is obsessed with creating the perfect social media content, Marcus becomes increasingly frustrated with her inability to put down her phone. As they become lost in the dark forest, their arguments escalate and force them to confront the reality of their relationship. Visually, I used the changing forest, sunset, and darkness to reflect the progression of their relationship and the contrast between its superficial appearance and underlying tension.
