Say No to bullying (Short film)

Say No to Bullying was my first major project in my video production career, which I undertook while still in high school in Venezuela. I took on multiple roles for this film, including developing the story, casting actors, receiving assistance behind the camera, filming the scenes, directing the production, and editing the final video. Although the film gained recognition primarily within my city, it was a significant achievement for me at the time, as my goal was to create an engaging short film and pursue a career as a film director. Say No to Bullying revolves around the life of a student who endures persistent bullying at school, depicting their emotional journey. The film concludes with a powerful and impactful ending. It was initially showcased in my school, but due to its positive reception, it was also requested by other schools to be shown in their classrooms. This short film was completed in 2011.
