Project Details

Just a Friend is a short drama film exploring the emotional fallout of a failed relationship. I contributed across all phases of production in several key creative and technical roles.

In pre-production, I supported casting, assisting in the selection of performers who aligned with the film’s emotional and narrative goals. During production, I served primarily as Key Grip, leading and managing an eight-person grip team across a variety of shooting environments, including interior and exterior day and night setups. I was responsible for grip organization, rigging, and on-set execution, adapting to diverse locations and schedules while consistently adhering to professional set safety standards.

In post-production, I worked as Picture Editor, collaborating closely with the Director and post-production team to craft the final film and trailer, both scheduled for completion in February 2026. Additionally, as Digital Graphics Designer, I designed original graphics for the trailer and final film, contributing to the project’s visual identity and marketing materials. I utilized Adobe Premiere Pro, Photoshop, and After Effects throughout post-production to support editing, motion graphics, and visual design workflows. My work on Just a Friend reflects a strong ability to lead teams, adapt across departments, and deliver cohesive visual storytelling from production through post.
