Off Tempo
writer, producer, director, editor, camera
A student uses music to escape the reality every kid dreads — high school.
Off-Tempo was my first short film, developed as a Short Film entry at the Iowa State Thespian Festival in 2018. It was an ambitious jump into filmmaking and animation as someone with no previous experience in either. The project was a great learning experience that solidified my love for film and founded my consideration of filmmaking as something to pursue in college.
