    uniE613 The Gift
    As the writer-director of "The Gift", I am instrumental in the ideation of the project and the completion of the production process. The foundation of this film is built on its fascinating characters and the rich tapestry of its world. As the writer and creator of this compelling story, I developed this story based on the three core components of a story; the three core components being character, desire, and conflict. The characters were developed based on the twelve standard character archetypes. I then built the world of this film from the characters, their motivations, and the conflict of the story. The improvement of the story, its characters and world were greatly enhanced by peer feedback. As the director of this film, I lead a team of producers, cinematographers, assistant directors, etc. in pre-production, production, and post-production processes. I am heavily involved in the scouting of locations, casting talent, and managing the budget of the project. I am also instrumental in storyboarding, shot listing, production design, and creating the visual language of the film. screenplayscreenwriterdirectoranimation
