An actress battles feelings of anxiety and self-doubt while preparing for an audition with a particularly poignant script.
"EXPERIENCE" is an exploration of what it means to be a creative person in an increasingly competitive world.
The film was developed with and stars the amazing Karen Bengo. Karen first reached out to me two years ago, asking if I wanted to collaborate on something. "EXPERIENCE" is the result, a deeply personal look at the many faces of the creative process, and all the anxiety and self-doubt that arises along the way.
The film played at the inaugural edition of HollyShorts London Film Festival, and was the winner of Best ‘Short’ Short at the 2024 Performance Short Film Competition.
