“In a gay conversion center, a young girl risks everything to save her new friend.” An updated, 2019 version of my short film! I really took into consideration all of the great feedback and constructive criticism from the 2018 release of this film (you can watch it here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xCAKhPGdnuU&t=53s) and thought, why not go ahead and make some improvements!
Thank you so so SO very much to everyone who liked, commented, and shared the original Ava — as of right now it is at 430,000 views and that seriously is insane to me! This story really means a lot me and the fact that it meant so much to other people too is very powerful.
This film was made in August 2018 in Prodigy Camp, it was one of the most memorable experiences of my life and I am so proud of what everyone was able to accomplish there. Thank you to Ethan Seneker, the DP. I also had the opportunity of working with Ella Fields (visit her channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCncXhZzBmCaDqfFzvXOjuIA) Kayleigh Amstutz, Mandi Wickline and Shawn Telford, who were all amazing actors!
When I attended the 2019 Prodigy camp, I directed/wrote “Turn” which can be viewed here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDh0u8OBkRw&t=18s
Please comment and questions/critiques, this film was a sort of experiment with making something that is visually and not dialogue driven and I’d like to know what works and doesn’t. This was my second short film I’ve directed and written and I can’t wait to make more!
