SOAKED (Shy Smith)


For my semester project, my collegues and I created a musicvideo (fanproject) for Soaked by Shy Smith. We used creative lightning and abstract shots to bring the mood of the song to life in a very classic musicvideo style.
We kept the story quite simple so we could focus more on the design and look.

"EAT!" (2024) | Shortfilm

I have worked on several projects at ENematic Studios (2023–2024) with some colleagues from school. Our most recent project together was "Eat!", a short film about an eating disorder, which was nominated for the Austrian Independent Film Festival 2024. I co-directed the film with Erik Kramar and was responsible for the production design.

At a seemingly normal birthday party, Isabella, a young girl, faces the overwhelming pressure from her family to eat. Her desperate attempts to resist their relentless demands take her on a surreal and nightmarish journey, blurring the lines between reality and a haunting dream.
