My @straight_8_ short film, Deconstruction, is now LIVE via the link in my bio! 📽️
Filmed on one roll of Super 8. No editing. No retakes, no second chances!
We took on the challenge of the legendary straight 8 film competition—where you shoot a film entirely in-camera on a single Super 8 cartridge, with no post-production or retakes. You only get 3 minutes to tell your story, and what you capture is what the judges see. The audio? Recorded separately and submitted blind. You don’t even get to watch your own film until its premiere. 😩
Out of over 150 entries from around the world, our film made it into the Top 25 globally—a dream come true. It premiered on the biggest screen in the UK at the BFI IMAX in London, and the experience was beyond words!
These shots are just a glimpse! You can watch the full stream in my bio — our film’s timestamp is at 45:14, but seriously, every entry is worth your time. Every filmmaker poured their heart into these films—each one is a raw, honest expression of creativity and passion.
Huge thanks to the Straight 8 team for championing such a fearless and bold filmmaking community that is dedicated to preserving the magic of film. 🖤

A special thank you to my incredible fiancé, whose bold foresight and unwavering belief in me led us here. You were the one who first discovered Straight 8 and encouraged me to take the leap—even when I had doubts. Without your push and technical expertise, this film wouldn’t exist, let alone screen at the BFI IMAX. Thank you for seeing the potential before I did, and for always being my biggest supporter. 🥰
Still taking it all in. 🖤
Premiere night at BFI IMAX for @straight8 was unforgettable—sharing a room with filmmakers who are just as obsessed with the craft, the chaos, and the beauty of storytelling as I am.
Grateful for every conversation, every frame, and every second of film that brought us here. Thank you straight8 for creating space for raw creativity. To have my work shown on that screen, in that company, meant the world.
This night served as a great reminder of why we do this. 🎞️💫
