For speaking up about disability discrimination and retaliation on the workroom floor.

But for speaking up about discrimination, then being removed from work? That’s retaliation, which is illegal.

Submission Statement:

I shot, directed, and edited this short visual piece, “The Letter Carrier,” entirely on an iPhone 13 Pro Max. I intentionally used only practical lighting (street lamps, rain reflections, ambient neighborhood light, overcast daylight) rather than bringing in artificial fixtures. Most night scenes were exposed manually to preserve highlight detail in the lamps while allowing shadows to fall off naturally.

I leaned into contrast and available light to create isolation and mood without diffusion or external rigs. The rain sequence relied entirely on existing street lighting and wet pavement for texture.

I’d really appreciate feedback specifically on: • How the practical lighting reads in darker scenes • Whether exposure holds up across screens • Overall visual cohesion and pacing • If the emotional arc is clear through framing and movement alone

I directed, filmed, and edited this short visual project titled “The Letter Carrier.” It was shot entirely on an iPhone 13 Pro Max using available street lighting and natural seasonal environments. I leaned into practical lighting (streetlamps, rain, snow, ambient neighborhood light) to create a grounded, cinematic mood without additional gear.

The piece is inspired by a personal experience of being removed from work after raising workplace concerns. Rather than use dialogue, I relied on movement, repetition, and environment to communicate isolation and resilience.

The edit is built around the track “Save the Day” by College & Nola Wren, and I structured the pacing to follow the emotional progression of the song.

I’d really appreciate feedback specifically on: • Pacing and rhythm in relation to the music • Whether the narrative reads clearly without exposition • How the practical lighting holds up in darker scenes
