This was my thesis short and I am very proud till this day considering I was... I believe 23 when making it with absolutely no budget, replacing money with creativity and resourcing with the help of my genius producer. I had initially wrote a horror film concept for the fun of it and thought that was gonna be my theses. That was until my professor Mike Conners reminded the class that our thesis and the films we make should be a reflection of our favorite genres that make us excited to get up and go to the theater. I then put all my favorite genres into one script the next couple of nights and out came “In this Life”. By this time we were already half way into production time when Mike said I had to do this new script. I was like there is no way I can pull off… preproduction, filming and post production in 3 weeks but he insisted and I'm glad he did!

We made miracles happen for how ambitious my script was. My professors thought I spent 15 to 20 grand on the
different eras within the film and were shocked to find out I had only spent 1,500 (thanks to my dad and close donors) imagine what she could do with a bigger budget! The story strength maybe lacking as far as conveying the deeper meaning behind this short but time and practice has definitely made me a stronger writer. Nevertheless thank you so much for taking the time to check it out.
