The Final Film - Shadow Puppets
This film shows how the fate of average businessman Etienne Pelletier was turned upside-down because of a past relationship. The fates of 3 characters soon become in control of the ‘Puppeteer’ as use of sounds and light give an interesting account on different character’s perspectives, that of a hierarchy between the Puppeteer and the other individuals, and that of a lost love reuniting in a strive for Etienne’s liberation. The use of narrative, mise-en-scene and cinematography manifests—from the viewer's point of view—that anything is possible and fates are in fact being controlled.
Zombie Film - The Book Burning
Filmed in 10 days, this last film before the end of high school was a joint effort between our team (AKK Productions) and others from our film class.
With such little time to film, and a lot of people to organize, we feel like we still ended up with a great final product, and a long one too! Half filmed at school and near by compound, we tried to add some 'narrative' to the well known 'all gore' Zombie films that are out there. We hope you enjoy what will be our last film coming from high school and the AKK Productions.
Songs: In The House - John Murphy
The Pretender - Foo Fighters

Crime Movie - IB Exams
This film shows 3 students trying to steal the IB exam answers after realizing that will probably fail.
Filmed at school due to equipment complications, we had to work around the fact that all the scenes had to be shot on campus, hence came the idea of stealing exam answers.
We chose to not have a sound editor, which allowed us to us music that was not our own.
Songs: Fa-Fa-Fa by Datarock
So Down by Yuksek
Heart Full of Soul by the Yardbirds.
Watch as their plans only work out for a few!

Silent Film - First Day Of School
This film's purpose was to show the characteristics of film noire era production.
It was shot with a lower frame rate, and put in black and white in post production. Also an grainy-old film effect was added to give it that old 16mm film look.
For this production I was director, the storyboard writer, a cameo role, and part cinematographer.
Starring Brandon Liu, Sonya Dellah, Iris Treffers and myself!
