Love You is a short-film directed by Gabriella Master. It is a family drama that shows the perspective of an 11 year old girl named 'Lila', as she's stuck in the middle of her divorced parents fighting in a custody battle for her. Lila feels like her perspective and views aren't valued, which makes her stand up for herself in the judges office, which makes her parents consider what Lila actually wants herself, rather than what they want.
I collaborated with Gaby on this shoot as cinematographer, and we wanted a distant visual look for each sequence in the film. From the nostalgic glow and feel of Lila's earlier childhood memories, to the colourful and vibrant look of the birthday party sequence, to the contrast of the warm and soft tones of the courtroom sequence.
This was a challenging project that helped me refine my work as a cinematographer and camera operator, and I'm proud of my work on it! Look out for potential film festival news soon for this project!
