Right Now

A short film capturing how we feel about 2020.
My goal was to create a compelling visual arc told through the vignettes written in the script. I structured the visuals and story arc around a ball of light that gradually grows until it takes over. The centred composition reflects the centrality of this ball of light where people all over the world are confused by it, in awe of it, scared of it and destroyed by it. Throughout the film, we get to see humanity in their rawest form: when there’s everything to lose.
