2025 Directing Showreel 📺 👀
A peek at what I’ve directed over the past year and a half. Excited to keep improving and telling new stories this year!
Projects included:
- Rabbit Warren (2024)
- Dog face (2025)
- Bed Bugs (2025)
The process of the Bug King costume design: 🪲✂️
We started with conceptual mood boards, which inspired Yasmine, my art director, to sketch the mask while I designed the costume. I then built it using household objects since we had a limited budget, working with tin foil and cardboard, pulling late nights and earning a few hot glue burns on my forehead.
Maria, my production designer, and I practiced assembling the costume ahead of time while I finished building the remaining pieces. At the same time, Yasmine brought the antennas and mandibles to life!
Overall, it was all good fun, an unexpected detour in the production that allowed my crafty skills to take the lead. 🪳🧵🪡

We’ve recently wrapped on our film “Bed Bugs” 🪲
Directing this piece was a true passion project. While we faced many challenges along the way, I was supported by an incredible crew every step of the process. I’ve grown immensely as a director and hope to keep improving with every project.
We’ll be starting our festival circuit soon!
Log Line: 🎬
A young girl infatuated with fairy tales discovers the Bug King creeping into her bed at night. When her parents dismiss her fears as imagination, she confronts him herself and uncovers a painful truth about his identity.

Special thank you to everyone who supported us!!!
It’s been a hot minute since I worked on my first short film! Since then, it’s amounted to a surprising amount, although nothing grand. Coming to a whole new country to making a short film in a place I knew nothing about, with a small 4-person crew and several pre-production issues, I’m very proud of the teamwork from this project and how I’ve come to hone my visual style since then.
Thank you to my tiny crew and amazing cast for working together back in the day, and to more films to come! 🐇
