ABOUT THE FILM
Gisette was made as my Final Major Project for my Film and Television degree at Solent University. Gisette is the biggest project I've worked on (so far!) and was a mammoth undertaking, from writing an authentic and engaging script, to finding genuine and powerful actors, and building a realistic and accurate world with the production design. However, my team and I pulled out all the stops and I'm incredibly proud of all we accomplished.
