Co-director

I have really enjoyed the process of directing ‘Blurred Lines’ alongside Tae. It has been an amazing experience creating this film and has been an absolute honour to see our talented cast and crew bring the story to life. We have all been so passionate about this film, especially considering the initial merge of concepts from our earlier stages of production. Getting to direct and see ‘Blurred Lines’ become a reality has been a great privilege and I am so proud of what we have created.

Co-director

Working on ‘Blurred Lines’ was such an enlightening and fulfilling experience that I am beyond grateful to have been a part of. The crew and cast brought together the vision in ways I didn’t even originally imagine. Seeing everyone getting to truly excel in their field and giving their all to a project, working collaboratively to build the strength of the narrative was a beautiful reminder of why I love to make films and tell these stories. Despite some roadblocks and bumps in the early stages of trying to merge two concepts, I am proud to say that we have produced a passionate and meaningful story that we hope will leave a positive impact on our audience. Getting to be a part of the direction of a film with such an important message was a truly incredible opportunity that I am constantly grateful for and the lessons I learnt throughout the process will stick with me for the rest of my career as a filmmaker.

Producer

Working on ‘Blurred Lines’ as the Producer and 1st Assistant Director has provided invaluable insight into the complexities of pre-production and the collaborative nature of filmmaking. Throughout the development process, I have been involved in sourcing and securing locations, coordinating casting opportunities, and supporting fundraising efforts to help bring the project to fruition. Managing both the creative and logistical demands of these roles has strengthened my leadership, communication and organisational skills when it comes to maintaining structure within a fast-paced production environment. Most significantly, contributing to a film with such an important and relevant message has highlighted the impact cinema can have in encouraging discussion, raising awareness, and engaging audiences on a deeper level. Being part of this project has been both professionally rewarding and personally meaningful, further reinforcing my passion for storytelling and film production.

Writer

As the screenwriter for ‘Blurred Lines,’ it has been a massive privilege to be able to write about such a sensitive topic that would be able to reach many young men. It emphasises that it's okay to talk about things, that it's okay to not be okay and that there's always someone there for them to help them through their struggles and dark times. The script went through a lot of changes, making it challenging and slightly demotivating at times, but once we had the solid baseline of ‘Blurred Lines,’ it was a spectacular write and even more so when presented on the screen.

Director of Photography

My experience through ‘Blurred Lines’ has been full of twists and turns. I didn’t go into this year thinking I was going to be a part of a group measure, nor did I think I was going to be Director of Photography for a graduate film in the first place. Despite the setbacks and the road blocks, I successfully DoP ‘Blurred Lines.’ During the making of this film, I was given freedom to make my own artistic decisions about the cinematography of the film.

After all the hard work my camera crew and I put into the cinematography of ‘Blurred Lines,’ I am proud to say that our film depicts the journey of a person affected by loss and is left at a crossroads of how he then responds to his grief. I hope that our film communicates the message that grief should never be dealt with in isolation. 

Sound Recordist

Working on ‘Blurred Lines’ as the Sound recordist has been an enlightening and insightful journey that I am privileged to have experienced. I worked through many challenges to do with sound recording in public areas. To combat this, I had to record wild tracks and atmos in order to have backup ambient sound in case of unforeseen sound interruptions. Being sound recordist on the set of Blurred Lines has been such a challenging and educational experience and I am forever grateful to the rest of the crew for their dedication and open mindedness in helping work around sound recording challenges.

Production Design

I had such an amazing experience working as the Production Designer for ‘Blurred Lines.’ Bringing the script to life alongside Lucy was such a pleasure - our work truly brought the story to life. Our goal within the art department was to reflect the raw, emotional weight of grief and loss through the film’s environment. We worked closely with the Directors to ensure our work aligned with their vision. Working with such a hard working crew has been infinitely rewarding, I hope our film strikes our audience emotionally and reminds them of the importance of community during hard times.

Art Director

Taking on the role of Art Director has been such an exciting and eye-opening experience. I am incredibly proud to have shaped the visual world for ‘Blurred Lines’ through our creative set design, working closely with the rest of the crew to bring our short film’s world to life! Both myself and the rest of the art department ensured that we reflected the raw, emotional weight of grief and loss through the film’s environment, as well as assuring that our props, costume, and colour scheme aligned with the overall director’s vision. I am especially grateful, however, to have worked and collaborated with such a dedicated and passionate crew, and watching our story come to life has been a great honour!

Editor

It has been an incredible honour to edit ‘Blurred Lines.’ From start to finish, this experience is one I will never forget. I have thoroughly enjoyed collaborating with such a talented cast and crew, to craft such a heartfelt story. It has been both creatively rewarding and personally impactful to help bring such an important topic to light. I’m not only proud to have contributed to a film with such emotional depth and purpose, but also proud of the team for doing so well. Well done everyone!
