I’ve just completed a short film that I’d been working on for a few weeks.

“Realities” takes an idea from a science fiction feature screenplay I’m currently writing and imagines it in another setting. While I may not have brought complete clarity to the idea, I enjoyed making this short film and may rework aspects of the feature script as a result of making this.

Two of my favourite aspects of this short film were building props and recording sound, the latter of which has been a problem in previous shoots. My next hope is to use more lighting, which I have also found difficult previously: short films offer great opportunities for experimentation.

Now “Realities” is complete, I’m going to make another short science fiction film, from a screenplay of about equal length. I have a few other ideas mulling around, as well as the opportunity to try some new editing platforms: I’ll see what new aspects I can bring to these productions.
