This short film showcases my end-to-end post-production capability, where I handled the entire post pipeline from raw footage to final master.

I was responsible for organizing and stitching the footage, shaping the narrative, controlling pacing, designing the soundscape, executing visual effects, color grading, and integrating music to support the emotional arc of the film.

The completed film went on to receive multiple awards, including a Best Editing recognition from an international film awarding body.
