The Heist

A money heist isn’t what it seems for two thieves.

Award winner:
Best Female Director, Phoenix Shorts Film Festival, January 2024
Best Short Thriller, International Short Cinema Festival, February 2024

The Heist is a micro short that was inspired by an idea I had while playing a video game with some of my friends. This is my first action/thriller film with foot chase and car chase sequences, filmed experimentally handheld, run-and-gun style. The Heist takes on a fun twist at the end, leaving viewers with a sense of longing for a continuation of the story.
