In developing my personal style and philosophy as a director I spent 4 months writing a 17-page script that emulated story structure, characters, and tones from films I admire. My research included watching reference films from different eras and directors, which helped drive my writing decisions during story development. / Once I built a cast, I rehearsed with them each week and made script revisions based on how the story played once it was lifted off the page. / During pre-production I worked with a crew on obtaining locations, shot design, obtaining equipment, and production design. We then moved into production where we spent 6 days shooting scenes in 8 different locations around Tallahassee. / Once production was complete, I moved into post-production where I spent 2 months editing and sound designing the film. / The film is about a playwright who struggles to find personal connection and honesty in her work until she spends a night with an actor who helps her step out of her comfort zone. /
