Behind the scenes on ‘Not Now’.
A quiet story built from small, honest moments. This one was all about restraint, tension, and trusting the in-between. Really proud of how everyone showed up, stayed present, and gave their full attention to the work, it made all the difference.
Grateful for a team that leaned in and brought this to life together.
#BehindTheScenes #Filmmaking #NotNow
Filmmaking has taken me to places I never expected, not just locations, but moments, lessons, and friendships along the way.
Looking through these photos reminds me how far the journey has come already. From early ideas and small projects to bigger stories and new opportunities on the horizon. None of it happens alone. Every film, every set, every late night editing session is built with people who share the same love for storytelling.
Grateful for the friends, collaborators, and creative minds I’ve met along the way, and excited for everything still to come.
Stay tuned, as I have many more stories still to be told.
Thank you @wamadefilmfestival 📸

That was a strange year.
Figuring things out on my own, as if for the first time.
After so long, it felt unfamiliar.
Who is this person staring back at me in the mirror?
Many days felt like a whirlpool of emotions,
trying to survive, rebuild,
and make sense of my own worth.
Work became an anchor.
Late nights, filming, writing,
they gave me purpose,
and reminded me that I’m moving forward.
I made new friends.
I lost old ones too.
It hurt. It was confusing.
It changed me.
I’ve still got a way to go.
But I’m standing, I’m learning,
and for the first time in a while,
I’m genuinely hopeful for what comes next.

2025 was a year of momentum!
It was all about showing up, sharpening my craft, and backing myself as a filmmaker. I worked on 21 productions, spent countless hours on set, and learned something new on every shoot.
I got to tell so many stories, build more trust, and get a clearer sense of the work I really want to make.
I’m grateful for every collaboration, late night, and quiet win along the way. This year set the stage — and I can’t wait to share what 2026 brings.
Stay tuned — there’s already an exciting slate lined up for next year.

The moment the generator died, the forest turned into a pitch-black playground.
So naturally… low-light portraits and lightsaber battles.
Silent Mile, but make it Star Wars. 🌲⚔️✨

Meet Alexandra, the heart behind Piper in Last Light.
This story isn’t just about fear in the dark — it’s about the kind of grief we don’t talk about enough. The moments where you feel frozen, while life keeps pulling you forward.
We hope you see a piece of yourself in Piper’s journey, and we can’t wait to share this film with you soon.
🌟 Starring: Alexandra D’Ulisse @alexandradulisse as Piper
