At the moment I'm in preproduction for a short film, called No Matter What, which will be entered into Open Channel and Village Cinemas' UnScene Short Film Competition.

It's film I've written myself, and it will be my directorial debut. While talking to other members of the crew I've come to realise that I've also subconsciously taken on art department, costume and producer - mainly because the film is so heavily stylised. Phew.

It's been a hell of a lot of activities and planning and spending to get this film ready - and we're almost there. This past weekend we had a crew meeting to make sure we were all on the same page with what needs to be done on day one of our shoot as we have minimal time at our location. Planning and planning and planning and communication has been integral to this project, and I'm so thankful for my incredible crew who've been nothing but supportive.

I'm so excited for the two shoot days ahead and the early mornings. Stay tuned for behind the scenes photographs and where to vote for the film when the competition is underway.
