THE MAKING OF LIMERENCE

From crafting each character inside and out, to building a narrative with clear cinematic direction- I enjoyed every second of creating this story. A story that anyone feeling the invisible struggles of youth can identify with.

I decided to take on this project because I wanted to expand my video production skills and dive deeper into the world of visual storytelling. Not only did this experience enhance my interest in cinematography, I got the chance to learn from the incredible crew of actors and production that joined the team. I had the pleasure of working with my close friends Elene (Nene) Koplatadze and Ines (Mati) Santamarina, who helped Lara and I bring our creative vision to life.

I really enjoyed stepping into a managerial role during production- being in the thick of the action, coordinating actors, crew, and equipment, and making sure each shoot ran seamlessly. This experience strengthened my organizational and leadership skills, and I look forward to working on more projects like these in the future.
