Directing
When a lazy young man’s mother announces she’s on her way home, he scrambles to clean up his messy apartment. With time running out, chaos and creativity collide as he resorts to extreme measures to cover his tracks before she arrives.
A teenage girl raised in a strict catholic household must reckon with her queer identity while balancing her religious guilt.
Shutter is an experimental short film that blurs the line between narrative, satire and self reflection. It primarily explores the anxiety of performance and the fear of being judged. Through various lives, the film communicates these pressures. A man who loses his temper over a letter, a comedian dying on stage and a dishonest friend. Anything from everyday actions to major stunts spiral out of control into moments of scrutiny and even silence becomes a form of judgement. By combining satire with a sense of self awareness, Shutter captures the true essence of creating, performing and exposing oneself to the gaze of others.
