Dear May

Logline: Just a bittersweet summer fling lesbian story

Role: Director / Producer / Art Director 
Date: 2024
Location: New York
Dear May is an award-winning musical short film that captures the whirlwind of emotions that come with a fleeting summer crush. As Hayley navigates her feelings, she finds herself caught between two opposing forces—Rational, the voice of logic that urges caution, and Emotional, the voice of impulse that longs for the thrill of possibility. Through vibrant music and dynamic storytelling, Dear May explores the push and pull between reason and desire, painting an intimate portrait of young love, uncertainty, and the moments that linger long after summer fades.
