Project Details:
Afterlight is a short film created for ADM Film Rush 2025, a 50-hour filmmaking competition where teams must write, shoot, and edit a complete film under extreme time constraints. At the start of the challenge, we were given three lines of dialogue and had to build our story around one of them (“Bag me up”) within the 50-hour window. Because of the compressed schedule, the production was highly collaborative, with overlapping responsibilities across the team; my credited roles were Co-Director and Actor. Afterlight went on to win Best Editing and Best Cinematography.
