I wanted to enter the Toronto film festival because it’s one of the best out there. I was really surprised at my feedback. It was good. Even though I knew the script was good, you don’t expect it.

This film festival is so amazing.
I received reviews of my film that was really informative.
Thank you for great experience!
Very authentic and well run. I love the audience reviews they give you of your film.
My team and myself are very happy we got a “Best Cinematography” award from Fantasy/Sci-Fi Film & Screenplay Festival. It’s a great festival to be a part of. We got a video with great in-depth audience feedback. It’s very interesting what people from the other side of the globe have to say about our film. I even got a podcast interview, how awesome is that!
This is a great festival – my script ‘Mysterious Island’ won the ‘Best Scene’ and the fest posted a reading of the scene performed by some wonderful actors. The scene was intended to be funny and the actors pulled it off marvelously. Thank you Fantasy/Sci-Fi Film and Screenplay Fest!

Get to know the filmmaker:
What motivated you to make this film?
For me, this story was always the one. It’s my opener—my “Hey, this is me. This is what I’m about” piece. Coming of age can feel electric, like you’re catching lightning in a bottle as you live it. This is a first love story—a rush in every sense of the word. More than that, it’s about all the little moments that once made you feel out of place, suddenly dissolving in an instant. It’s about the euphoria of finally feeling at home in your own skin, independent of anyone else’s opinions. That was this story for me.
At the same time, I was drawn to how naturally this story fit into the short film medium. That feeling of transience—of being thrown right into something before you’ve had time to make sense of it—mirrors the experience of coming of age itself. It rarely has a clear start or finish, and it’s almost never a clean break. The short form captures that immediacy, that fleeting intensity. And beyond that, it’s a fun movie. Bringing a little slice of fun into the world felt like a nobe idea.
What were your initial reactions when watching the audience talking about your film in the feedback video?
To be honest—it was completely surreal. We’re just starting to show the film to audiences beyond those directly involved, so seeing how it’s landing is incredible.
Watching people engage with the film in such an intimate way was so special. I never fully imagined this part of the process, so I’m just trying to stay present and take it as it comes.
When watching the audience feedback, I kept thinking: yes, girl, she gets it. She’s eating in her textual analysis. Seeing the audience pick up on the subtlety and layers beneath the surface was incredibly rewarding. It made me realize the impact of every small choice, bringing me right back to the edit. It’s a testament to all the unseen, often tedious collaborative work that went into it—work that wouldn’t have been possible without Luke, Cooper, and Alexis, who were with me every step of the way.
Working with Alexis, Katelyn, Yasmeen, and Nate was truly a masterclass for me as a director. They’re all so brilliant, talented, and dedicated. They are the heart of this project, each in their own way, and I’m just so excited to be able to honor and showcase their work. This is a performance-driven piece, and seeing them get their flowers makes me feel incredibly proud.
