- Synopsis
- Even from a young age I have been inspired to write and create new worlds through storytelling. After a sit down pitch meeting with a producer who was interested in my feature film script, he asked me why I would want to direct the film when I had never directed a psychological thriller before. I replied to him that women, in general, have not been given the same opportunities to direct films, let alone psychological thrillers. It was after that meeting that I decided to write and direct my short film, The Deft. Instead of complaining or giving up after I was questioned about my capabilities, I took it as a challenge in order to prove that female writers/directors are just as capable as the men in successfully creating a film in the psychological thriller genre. I hope that this film offers suspense and intrigue, and will delight all fans of psychological thrillers.
