COMMITTED

SHORT FILM

On the morning before National Signing Day, a rumor ultimately forces two teammates to imagine a future neither of them envisioned: a future that may not include soccer or friendship.

Opportunity

Explore ambition at the moment it fractures.
Center Black female athletes beyond performance.

Approach

Keep it contained.

I focused on relational tension—using a single moment of disruption to surface deeper questions of identity, loyalty, and self-worth.

Execution

• Wrote and directed the film

• Led a low-budget production with a performance-first approach

• Shaped character dynamics through dialogue and restraint

• Maintained a tight narrative frame to heighten emotional stakes

Impact

Screened at Lone Star Film Festival and HollyShorts Film Festival.
Highlighted the psychological interiority of Black female athletes navigating transition and belonging.
