Filet De Femme Short Film
Atlanta – January 27, 2023
Trigger Warning: Body Horror & Pregancy Trauma Content
I worked as Assistant Camera on Sledgehammer Pictures’ Filet De Femme, a deeply emotional reenactment of director Rozalyn Mattocks’ personal experience with a T-cut cesarean section. Given the intensity of the subject matter, we ensured a sensitive and safe space on set for all involved. As Cinematographer, I played a critical role in bringing the director’s vision to life, utilizing her lookbook to inform the color toning and overall aesthetic of the film. Technically, I focused on precise lighting setups to convey the raw emotion of each scene, and I worked closely with the crew to manage shot composition and camera movement, enhancing the film’s visceral and intimate tone.
