Ania Cummins as 'Babushka'


'Babushka' was a real labour of love. A lot of blood, sweat and tears went into making this short and it's my biggest independent project to date.
I wrote, self-funded, produced, directed and filmed it all myself. I had the help of my lovely talented actors when it came to costumes and props and the help of a uni classmate with recording sound.
The entire project was shot in two days across three locations on a Sony FX3 camera a and ME67 Hypercardioid Microphone.
I also edited it myself using Adobe Premiere Pro and created the promotional poster using Adobe Photoshop.
