End of Play is a 15-minute sci-fi short film (2025) directed around a cosmic agency that creates worlds. The story follows Seven, a downtrodden junior creative who is unexpectedly given the chance to design his dream world, only to find himself in a life-or-death race against the clock to overcome a crippling creative block before his head literally explodes.

As Art Director, I worked closely with designer Milly White across all stages of the production. My role included sourcing and purchasing, set dressing, and running the art department team. On the final day of shooting, I stepped up as Production Designer and Standby, overseeing the visual execution on set.

This was an incredible project to be part of and has since received significant festival recognition and multiple awards.
