Film Sessions™ Podcast

On this episode of the Film Sessions Podcast, we are excited to feature Lorna Brierly:

“I love pushing the boundaries as a filmmaker and making audiences think about social and psychological issues in new ways. In my debut short film ‘Girls Night’, which won 3rd Place Pre-College Student Actress and was a finalist at the Student World Impact Film Festival 2022, I immerse the audience in the anxiety and fear the girl feels about walking home alone. More recently, I have made an experimental short film about the spectrum of anxiety called ‘disquiet’, which was selected and a finalist for the Student World Impact Film Festival 2023. I aspire to create exciting, innovative films that can make a difference and my ultimate ambition is to direct my own feature film.”
