DOLLY- 2015
A shortfilm I consciously chose to shoot vertically and chose deliberately not change the ratios. Some film purest could not understand why. The reason why I shot this short film vertically was a conceptual reason & shot to view on mobile-phone, to imitate the size of a mobile phone screen as a symbol, when & how you pick it up. This emphasised that the character Doll a phone sex chatline worker’s life connection to the phone. Nearly all of here communication is virtual through the medium of the telephone screen, skype etc. When you pick up a phone you hold it vertically speaker and amplifier at opposite vertical ends. This short also forms part of a moving sketchbook.
TIME- 2014
A short vertical film shot on an iphone as an experiment. Written and directed by Donella, it then picked up interest from litro.co.uk who published it on Litro TV along side the like of Kate Tempest. It went on to gain more attention through social media platforms eventually reaching Indie Boogie, & Film Fervor across the Adllantic. Film Fervor is a daily independent film podcast dedicated to promoting current and aspiring filmmakers from around the world. Here is her first 1st interview with them with more interviews to follow in 2015. The music was composed by Gavin Heaney, also known as Jack 55.
Where it all began
Jellybaby – (2005) was executive produced under Donella’s old company F-5 Films in sole association with Jemsea Films. “Jellybaby” did the Festival circuit and arrived in the short film corner at the 2005 Cannes Film Festival. This was a joint film venture between actress and director working in a laboratory process workshopping, before the script was shot. This conceptual method of working giving a flow of creativity through experimentation, was the first humble low budget venture into the arena of film to learn more about how low budget film works.
