The Assignment
Second year at Rotterdam Business School, film elective class.
The brief: create an original short film that demonstrates understanding of cinematic storytelling techniques.
The Concept

The Execution
We handled all aspects of production, scriptwriting, directing, cinematography, and editing. The challenge was conveying psychological complexity through visual storytelling rather than dialogue, using film techniques to create atmosphere and guide audience interpretation.
The Result
A surreal short film that plays with perception and reality, demonstrating our ability to work collaboratively on creative projects outside our core business studies. The final piece showed we could translate abstract concepts into concrete visual narratives.
The Movie:
Skills demonstrated:
