interlude

dir. Naomi lau (2024)

“Don’t think anyone can tolerate me for
long anyway... Yeah, maybe just you”
— Jordan

‘Interlude’ follows the journey of two former friends, Evie and Jordan, who reconnect after 8 years apart. The film explores themes of LGBTQ+ identity, lost connections, and the power of forgiveness.

Camera Operator

In this project, my role as a camera operator involved capturing the visual essence and narrative flow through careful framing and movement. I meticulously selected angles and shot compositions that enhanced the storytelling while ensuring that the technical aspects, such as focus and lighting, were optimised for the desired aesthetic.

Collaborating closely with the director and other crew members, I adapted to the dynamic environment of the shoot, making real-time adjustments to achieve the best possible results. My goal was to create visually engaging content that aligned with the project’s vision and resonated with the audience.
