8 Ball

Vini is a university student who is in a tough spot in his life. He lacks companionship, is severely introverted and anxiety-ridden. When the state of his well-being is far from healthy he meets Emma, a bubbly, extroverted blind girl who he initially wants nothing to do with. A couple of coincidental meetings later, Vini’s quietness starts to crack, and he learns to get out of his shell and begins to find happiness. Vini’s problems seem to be a thing of the past but soon enough his journey to find himself reveals the truths he may not want to know.
In the fall of 2022, a friend and classmate of mine, Adrien Marquet, brought the idea of 8 Ball to my attention. He had been working on a script for a Youtube video which turned into a short film a few months after. I helped develop and write the script alongside Adrien and he eventually granted me the role of co-screenwriter for the project. 7 months later and with the help of a 50 person cast and crew, the film had it's first screening on April 24th, 2023.
With the help of Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU), they offered to help the film's creation financially as many of our cast/crew we're enrolled in their various film-studies programs. 8 Ball is not out of any platform currently but has been sent to mutliple film festivals in North America, Europe, and around the world.
On set I provided support for supervising the script, assisting the director, and thoroughly keeping our actors on track through each scene and shot. Other than the 4 months of meetings working and developing the script with Adrien, I was on set for a few of our shooting days (due to school priorities) but was on-call through our whole schedule. I collaborated with crew members who have had experience in the film industry and learned the ins and outs of how to operate a film set.
