"All in the Pie" is a short film that was made for the 48hrs Film Festival 2024 in Groningen. I participated in the writing, co-directed the production with Isidora Jurisic, did the cinematography together with Nigel Littmann, made a first assembly edit with the collaboration of Isidora and Nigel and then a second edit in which I also did the grading and the audio/ musical supervision.
