SHORT FILMS
In my films, I aim to creatively convey my message by blending land, aerial, and underwater shots. My focus is on capturing unforgettable moments that leave a lasting impression. Through powerful storytelling, I craft impactful documentaries that resonate with my audience.
The ocean taught me to surrender, trust, and release stress and old beliefs. It showed me the true nature of marine life, far from what society often says. I learned that animals and humans can trust each other if we take the time to understand them. There’s so much wisdom we can share with each other. In a documentary-style video, I share my personal connection with marine life, offering you a glimpse into my perspective and the profound emotions stirred by the ocean.
In 2021, I got into flying my drone, and to my surprise, I discovered a whole marine world right near my home in Bondi. It was mind-blowing to find so much sea life just 10 minutes away. The ocean at Bondi turned out to be even more vibrant and alive than I had ever thought. Realizing that this beauty was practically on my doorstep and I hadn't noticed it hit me hard. That's when I decided to make it my mission to share what I was witnessing and to spread awareness about our amazing ocean, a home to incredible creatures and their families.
In 2021, I crafted my inaugural documentary, focusing on Jason, also known as Drone Shark App. Despite our brief acquaintance of just a few weeks, our connection deepened swiftly. During my initial spiritual awakening, Jason played a pivotal role, guiding me through this transformative phase with his profound insights and personal narrative.
Impressed and inspired by Jason's journey, I sought permission to create a short documentary about his life and accomplishments. The decision carried substantial pressure, given Jason's high-profile status; I was determined not to fall short of his expectations. Here are Jason's words after making the documentary: "A young girl by the name of Carla approached me as she loved what I do and wanted to create a short DOCO for her studies to which I accepted. I’m so glad I did because she articulated my vision perfectly , it actually brought me to tears when I watched it and I just had to share. RICH MAN does not refer to having money $$ , it refers to having a purpose , being grateful and living in the moment and most importantly loving yourself. Thanks so much Carla for a great job. All the footage you see here is hers so go on and give her a follow."
After Jason shared the documentary on his socials, it hit a remarkable 20,000 views across Facebook and Instagram. This initial foray into documentary filmmaking marked a significant personal and professional growth for me. The experience solidified a lasting connection between Jason and me, and we continue to stay in touch today.
Dive Centre Bondi asked me to make a short documentary about the main services that they offer. In just 2 days of shooting and editing, I put this together and they were really happy about it.
