THE CHOICES WE MAKE

A young newsreader seeks the secrets at the heart of her Totalitarian society, only to discover the truth; there is nothing but endless bureaucracy and meaningless choices.

DEVELOPMENT

Created for a UCL Film Competition. The Choices We Make is an experimental exploration of Totalitarianism, inspired by German Expressionism and Brazil (1985).

As Writer and Director, I helmed the project. This was a difficult film as we were ambitious; and the competition required little-to-no budget and time. This meant turning to Guerilla Filmmaking. We compensated for the limiting environment by hard work. On my end this included designing all of the graphics overnight and creating a soundtrack/soundscape.
