CHOOSING THE SCARY
‘Choosing The Scary' is a short documentary film following Emma who, at age 34, walks away from the life she spent years building, the traditional structure, to follow a path more authentic to who she truly is.
The film explores conformity, identity, modern disconnection and choosing a life that feels more honest to who you are.
Making this film became a way to document not only her transformation but my own way of understanding it.
At its heart, this film is about courage, reinvention and the freedom on the other side of letting go.
TAKING THE STAGE
Ruby is overwhelmed with self doubt and fear moments before giving a speech, will a chance encounter change her mind?
CONCEPT
Ruby is reclaiming agency.
Her self worth has been challenged through corporate setbacks and she has been on a long self development journey to redefine herself and reclaim her power.
She uses the theatre as a safe space where voices are meant to be heard to speak her truth and connect back with her inner child.
The film is a psychological drama, surreal, symbolic and plays with the idea of creative visualisation and that everything comes down to belief.
