Meet the crew
PRODUCER
Hi, I'm Italia Kelley and I am the producer of our short film This Ain't Us. As the producer, I am dedicated to ensuring the smooth execution of production and overseeing all aspects from pre-production to post. I am passionate about collaboration, coordinating resources, and ensuring the director and screenwriters vision of the film is brought to life on screen. With a strong focus on detail and creativity, I aim to contribute to a film that resonates deeply with audiences and showcases the collective effort of our team. Working with a highly skilled team behind me is what motivates me to lead the production of our film.
DIRECTOR
Hello, I'm Erin Phoebe Antrobus, as the director of This Ain't Us, my role is to shape the vision of the film, and guide the actors to deliver authentic, and compelling performances. I've worked closely with each actor, helping them understand their character and provide direction to make sure their characters come to life. As I am also an actor, this helps me communicate clearly and effectively, I've used my techniques when I need the actors to reach a certain emotion to help them find the truth in their performance. My skills in leadership have been essential in brining the script to life, creating a safe space for our amazing actors and having trust in my team. This Ain't Us has been a pleasure to direct, I want to thank everyone involved.
SCREENWRITER
Hi, I'm Rowan Price. As the screenwriter the heaviest of my workload is during pre-production, my task was to formulate the idea for the film into a functioning screenplay. This screenplay needs to be easy to understand and project a vision through in-depth description and dialogue, this is so our crew and talent can start to work on the project effectively. After the screenplays completion my task is to help plan for the shoots using the script to organise shooting days, I would also be there on set helping to set up equipment and make sure the days are running smoothly by the script.
CINEMATOGRAPHER
Hi, I'm Ethan Moore, as the cinematographer of This Ain't Us my goal is to create visual storytelling by bringing the directors vision to life. The selection of each scenes lighting and framing reflects the mise en scene intended for each shot. Every shot I create, reflects the mood and emotion to further deepen the narrative’s impact. I make creative and technical choices that help define the film’s vibe. The use of handheld and still camera movements crafted the raw, engaging vibe for the film. Throughout production I also work closely with the producer and editor to ensure the film’s aesthetic is met.
SOUND
Hi, I'm Tyler Graham, and I'm the sound engineer for our film, This Ain't Us. During production of the film, it was an important task for the whole group to create a particular tone, one that reflected the gritty reality of our main characters’ lives. For sound, I did this by attempting to capture the noise of the world around our characters alongside the dialogue being spoken, with the intention of making the streets of Liverpool feel like an integral part of the story. In turn, this helped us to build a grounded foundation for our story to be told, where in each scene the setting gives context to our characters’ journeys.
EDITOR
Hi, I'm Bekah Kennedy, as the sole editor of our film, I am responsible for editing our entire project from start to finish. I deal with all aspects of post-production from syncing and cutting to pacing and polishing the final cut. I work alongside the director and camera operator to ensure the correct vision is achieved and that the flow matches the intended tone. My role involves quick problem-solving during the edit to ensure the footage is seen at its full potential and continuity is maintained. Other responsibilities of mine include organising project files, colour grading and exporting the final cut into the correct format.
