CRACKED (2025)
Created in just 48 hours as part of the TAKE48 2025 filmmaking challenge, held by the Sydney Underground Film Festival. Each team was required to include three key elements: • A mystery item: an egg • A line of dialogue: “That’s not how you do it.” • A bonus theme: a visual match cut. Cracked was written, shot and edited over a single weekend, earning 3rd Place overall and the award for Best Post-Production in the 2025 competition.
