The Pick Up

First Short Film

This was one of the first projects I worked on at university, and it’s what really kickstarted my interest in working within the film industry. As a group of first-year film students, we set out to create a short action-based film inspired by Baby Driver. 

At this stage, it was all about experimenting and learning—figuring out how to work as a team, plan shoots, and bring an idea to life with limited experience. The project gave me my first real insight into the filmmaking process and helped me understand how important sound, timing, and editing are in shaping a scene. 

Looking back, it marks the beginning of my journey into film and sound, and it’s a project that really pushed me to keep developing my skills.
