SHADOW OF THE IMPOSTER, 5min., UK
Directed by Ortino Yang
Shadow of the Impostor is a surreal psychological short film that follows Aiden, a struggling actor on the verge of a breakdown as he prepares for a major audition. Battling self-doubt, rejection, and the dehumanizing nature of the industry, Aiden begins to experience a mental split—his shadow detaches from him, reflecting his inner turmoil and fractured identity. As reality blurs with hallucination, Aiden’s confrontation with this shadow self culminates in a defiant act of rebellion during the audition, symbolizing his reclaiming of agency in a world that tries to erase him.

FLESH WISH, 4min., UK
Directed by Timothy Benjamin Slessor
An experimental horror inspired by H.P. Lovecraft, David Cronenberg and Clive Barker, this music video / short details in an abstract way the summoning of demons through a ritual performed behind the locked doors of a 1970s terraced house. Images are a combination of 8mm cinefilm, analog stills and materal initially generated with the use of a variety of AI platforms before they were brought into After Effects were they were everything was heavily manipulated, with many layers of texture, noise and grain added, lighting added or altered, images distorted and blended together and so on. The actual editing was arduous, often frame-by-frame (everything was done by hand) with images further distorted and manipulated with a variety of blending modes. It was a one-man job and that one man was very, very tired by the end of it! (please note that the encode on the FilmFreeway screener is not very good, a sharper version can be seen on the Vimeo link used as the project website below)

When a by -the-book lawyer allows a prank war to escalate and spiraling occur. The lines of law, ethics and office humor blur.

Directed by Mitra Goodwin

Director’s BIO:

Engineer, Business Analyst, Program Manager, Script Supervisor. Those were my titles before deciding to write and direct my short film, Prank’d.


Growing up an army brat, and as an only girl to 3 brothers, movies and books were my best and constant companions. When I realized some books were made into movies, a new hobby emerged, reading the book, and subsequently watching and critiquing the movie. “Devil in a Blue Dress” and “Harry Potter” are the favorites for the transition. However, my writing outlets at the time were journaling and poetry.

Fast forward and I graduated from the University of Louisville with a Master’s in Industrial Engineering and continued performing time studies at a parcel shipping company. As I moved into software development in the corporate realm and in location to Camden, South Carolina, I realized that I gained an ability. The ability to handle meeting overloads, personality conflicts and small talk fatigue by secretly giving spirit animal nick names to my colleagues and before you knew it, I had amassed mini stories for them as well.

Another fast forward, and a week before the pandemic shutdowns, in Atlanta, GA (where I currently reside) I attended BWFN (Black Women Film Network) and later uncovered the old writings. That creative experience and those memories pushed me to the next logical step in….a Script Supervisor for Film and TV. Not apparently logical but Mitra logic, I was able to observe and learn more behind the scenes production while I honed my storytelling confidence and abilities. As I continue to create content, I hope it brings joy to those reading and watching as it brought joy to me writing.
