In mid-November I had the wonderful opportunity to work with filmmaker and School of Visual Arts student Tati Tift on her second-year film, titled Sleepover! I've had the honor of calling Tati my friend, as we both attended the same performing arts high school, and to work with her out-0f-school was a dream.
We discussed the film story some months prior to her eventually sending me the script, and when I read it I was in complete awe. Without going into too much detail of the story, this short film Tati wrote and directed includes themes involving family, facing reality, and societal issues.
Over the two days of filming I got to work with Tati, her amazing team, and the other actress in the film. Check out the behind-the-scenes shots in the gallery below and use the arrows to navigate!
