Directing the film “Power Struggle”
“‘Power Struggle’ stuck out to me when I first read it because it was nothing like anything else I had created before. With silent yet action-packed choreographed scenes, I really got to play with my actors when it came to their motivations and how to portray those on screen quickly and convincingly.
As someone who has worked for themselves in and out of coffee shops for the better part of my career, I was drawn to a dramatized version of the struggle all digital nomads are familiar with: the chase for the last remaining power outlet.”
