I Art Directed and Produced a 2024 short film shot in California, starring Naythan Cotne and directed by Max Gold.

The film was awarded the ‘Best Art Direction’ prize at the ASVOFF 17 (A Shaded View on Fashion Festival) in Paris in November 2025, founded by Diane Pernet with Jury President Willy Chavarria.
