Scallywags - Nenda Neururer, Olivia D'Lima
Stoner comedies have long been enjoyed, but perhaps less acknowledged as an art form, and we hope to have combined the two. A film of this genre is rarely centred around women, especially women of colour, and the team wanted to create something that their younger selves would have loved to have grown up seeing. On the surface, SCALLYWAGS is a stoner-comedy about two women who are coasting their way through life, with the help of drinks, drugs and partying, but the core of the story is female friendship; what we will compromise to keep people around, and how far we will go to avoid change.

Rash - Lyssa Samuel
Rash started as a quarantine project and an opportunity to make the “perfect” portfolio piece while production was halted. Like many creatives at the time, I performed all production roles myself. I made use of automated sliders and POV rigs to incorporate movement while simultaneously filming and acting.
Drawing inspiration from Aronofsky, Cronenberg, and Satoshi Kon’s "Perfect Blue," Rash explores the self-destructive dangers of perfectionism. What started as an artistic challenge became a deeply personal journey, allowing me to process my own struggles with perfectionism.
I wanted to create a horror short where the killer and the final girl are one and the same. To me, this is a story about escaping the path of punishment and learning to trust self compassion as a driving force.
Lyssa Samuel is an actor and filmmaker who loves creating at every stage of the filmmaking pipeline. She has self produced over a 100 comedic sketches, many of which were made during "Sketchtember"—a personal film challenge where she wrote, filmed, edited, and posted a new sketch everyday in September. As a Creative Producer at Ready Set, she directed the production of 30 social spots.
You can take a look at her work on her website or connect with her on Linkedin. When not behind or in front of the camera, you’ll likely find Lyssa strolling through her garden, in search of snacks.
