Me and Mr. Bolt (2024)

A coming-of-age drama that follows Ebbie Hobbs, a young and ambitious musical theatre student from a small rural town, as she navigates her mental health and her relationship with her music teacher, Mr. Bolt, in the days leading up to her audition for her dream theatre program.

Drawing inspiration from Perfect Blue and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, the editing style blends Ebbie's mind space with her real-life struggles, showcasing her inner self and personal growth as the story develops. Ebbie is forced to confront her insecurities and fears within her mind space, reflecting how these challenges manifest in her real world. Seamless editing and transitions are pivotal to the narrative, providing a fluid connection between Ebbie's mental and physical worlds.

Color grading is equally crucial in this project, reflecting Ebbie's mood in each scene and her interactions with other characters. The color palette is meticulously adjusted to enhance the emotional tone, highlighting the shifts in Ebbie's mental state and her journey of self-discovery.
