an evening melody

Created with Alice Nguyen, Oana Joya and James Soligo.

Collaborating with Red Room Poetry, this is a short animated film adapted from Tenzin Choegyal’s poem ‘An Evening Melody’. Set in kerala, South India, the film reveals snippets of the struggles during COVID-19. From hospitals overwhelmed with oxygen tank shortages to the shuttering of businesses, the film emulates Choegyal’s poetic message of peace and solidarity.

I co-directed and wrote the story. Within pre-production, I drew the storyboards and contributed to character design. During production, I roughed, lined and coloured the kitchen, autorickshaw and store shots. I assisted with comping on After Effects.

‘welcome to blacktown’ ads for impact studios

Created with Kashfi Mannan, Patrick O’Brien, Vivienne Yao and Aurelia Loho

In partnership with Impact Studios, these short ads were developed to help promote their podcast ‘Welcome to Blacktown’. Drawing upon rich and anecdotal stories, the ads present the vitality of the city and its diversity. The city has grown spectacularly into a cultural hub of history, food and arts.

I co-directed, wrote and helped storyboard the shorts. I designed backgrounds and assisted with roughing, lining and colouring of animated sequences.
