Burnout (2024-2025)
"Burnout" is my Senior Thesis film that I'm working on with Karina Zhou, Lewi Thute and Batu Alpas. We are currently in preproduction but check back for more updates down the road!
Logline
​​​
'In a class-divided dystopia, a young mechanic must navigate between her dreams of grandeur and a terminal illness by entering a deadly racing competition.'
Statement
​​​
After the death of her father, 16-year old Azel must navigate the cut-throat, class-divided city of ‘Haven’ through any means possible. Despite her father’s wishes, Azel’s dream is to become one of the greats in racing and lift herself out of the dregs of society. After winning qualifiers, Azel’s desire to win turns into an unhealthy obsession when she sacrifices her life-saving medicine for a shot at stardom.
