This summer I directed, wrote, and edited my first short film, Beached.

Beached is a sci-fi film about a queer couple navigating a treacherous dystopia where anything you touch that’s infected by a disease (whether a black sand beach or another person) can cause a slow and painful death. Stranded on an infected beach, they struggle with diminishing motivation to continue their search for hospitable lands while debating the meaning of the human experience.

This project was a direct result of my experience as a MIHI x A24 Beyond the Screen fellow this summer. Sessions with A24 mentors and industry leaders on the business of production, post-production, and distribution widened the scope of the film industry that I both understood and that I felt I had access to explore. The fellowship also connected me with a cohort of other passionate female, BIPOC filmmakers who have both inspired and supported me as I’ve grown as a filmmaker.

From my Beyond the Screen experience, I gained the confidence to boldly venture into Stanford’s summer arts intensive program, where I spent two long weeks creating two short films from scratch. Without my Beyond the Screen background, I wouldn’t have felt equipped to tackle these new challenges and push the envelope of creativity in the ways that I did. Traveling an hour off-campus, working on a beach where our instructors warned us wind would be an issue when recording sound, working with a limited amount of natural light as we were filming outside instead of in a controlled space, and only being able to shoot for one day, were all challenges that I confronted during my shoot. Because of Beyond the Screen, I felt solidified in my identity as a filmmaker, and therefore had the confidence to persevere and problem solve, no matter what obstacle was thrown in my way. In the end, my team and I crafted a film I was extremely proud of and that I was able to share with the Stanford community during the Arts Intensive showcase.

I’m so proud of where I’ve come this year as a filmmaker thanks to the Beyond the Screen program and cannot wait to see how I continue to evolve as a creator and storyteller in 2023. Thank you so much to Made in Her Image and A24 for giving the next generation of storytellers the tools and confidence to step into and embrace their purpose.

A well-designed sikkim game app should make everyday navigation feel natural. Users should be able to understand where account settings, support options, and important notices are located without excessive searching. I also appreciate applications that communicate changes clearly instead of surprising users with unexplained updates. For me, usability is not only about speed; it is about whether the platform gives people enough information to use it confidently.

I genuinely enjoyed this perspective. There’s a lot of value in simply being honest about what we experience and what we learn from it. Your post does that really well without sounding overly dramatic. I also like how the message encourages growth rather than focusing only on mistakes. We all have moments that teach us something important, and recognizing those lessons can make a huge difference in how we move forward.
