Narrative
Below is information on the Narrative Short Films I have worked on.
01
Don't Touch The Jellyfish
Co-Creator: Directing, Producing, Editing
Director of Photography/ Colourist/ Script Editor
A person tries to recall how they were irradiated but their mind, filled with contrasting memories, cannot distinguish between the interwoven pathways it has created. This forms a confusing and arduous journey within the protagonist's psyche as their body deteriorates and their mind collapses inwards. The film is based around the protagonist, who re-enacts various real life radiation sickness cases that have occurred around the world. The doctor who is treating the protagonist has to come to terms with the destructive nature of radiation, knowing he can do no more. Through an experimental format we delve into the subject of acute radiation sickness with our character steadily declining in health as he moves through the stages. Looming over the protagonist is the idea of the jellyfish, a mystical creature that represents the danger of nature particularly through the fatality of radioactive materials.
02
The Daughter's of Silence
Camera Operator
Nemain, a leader in the royal guard, works in the shadows with the Daughters of Silence to challenge the authority of the King and overthrow his control over women and their birth-given powers. Sorcery, sword-fights and imprisonment ensues.
The film is a short fiction medieval fantasy, with nods to Irish and Celtic mythologies.
