Small Change (2025)
– Writer and Director and Colourist
In first semester of final year my original script was selected for production, an opportunity I was so excited to undertake. Small Change is a drama that tells the story of a young girl who takes things into her own hands to offer her mother a moment of joy during a tough time. It is a feel-good story about childhood innocence.
Directing Small Change was truly the most rewarding experience. I was involved from development to postproduction, shaping aspects from performance to visual tone. Working with our young lead was a particular highlight, guiding her through the scenes was an amazing experience, where I learned so much about communicating.
The inspiration for the film came from observing quiet acts of love and sacrifice in everyday life. Rooted in the often-overlooked sacrifices parents make for their children, I was drawn to the idea of a child taking on adult responsibilities out of care for a parent.
As a director, I really wanted to foster a positive set environment that encouraged creative expression, open communication and collaboration, where all cast and crew felt supported and able to do their best work. This project deepened my understanding of collaboration, leadership and trusting the process.
