LOCKDOWN SHORT FILM | 2020
DIRECTOR
PROJECT SYNOPSIS
This film explores the journey of a classical dance performer who has used dance as her primary medium of expression throughout her life. As she grapples with the restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 lockdown, she must navigate the challenges of adapting to a new reality—performing without an audience.

MY ROLE
Created as my final graduation project, this film was developed under the strict constraints of the COVID-19 lockdown, as our original projects had to be shelved. Given these restrictions, we were tasked with creating something entirely new. I developed a fresh concept, wrote, designed, and shot the film using minimal resources, crew, and actors, all while adhering to the lockdown regulations.
