Well, they say to write what you know. 

​

My original short film, It’s Hard to Find Love as a College Theater Major came to be first through the events that inspired it: the absolute battleground that is trying to date in college. That battle gets a lot worse when everyone involved is getting a theater degree. After sharing the sentiment that “this is basically a sitcom” with almost everyone I knew, I decided it was time for the world to know what I, and so many I held dear to me, were going through.  

​

I wrote the first ten pages of this film in 2023, in an Introductory Screenwriting class at UCLA. This class sparked an absolute joy for screenwriting within me, and I could hardly stop until those ten pages were expanded on, adapted, edited, and edited many more times to form the comedy It’s Hard to Find Love as a College Theater Major (or IHTFLAACTM, for short). 

​

And, with the help of so many of my fellow creatives, the film was shot at the end of 2023! I had the honor of co-directing with my incredible cinematographer, Kayla Louie, and acting alongside my highly talented friends and peers. Seeing something I wrote come to life, directing, and acting in the project was such a special process that I will always hold close to my heart. And check back in, IHTFLAACTM is currently in post production but premiering soon!
