An AFDA Short Film
Get Perspective On Your Perception!
CHARLOTTE HUISAMEN
DIRECTOR & SCREENWRITER
At AFDA I have learnt the art and craft of film making and performance. I have created some short films with some awesome people here. I have an intense background in musical theatre from before AFDA, which assisted in the short films I have created over the last few years. I have also written, directed and produced corporate videos for AGRI Mega Group and for Floraland. I do various production and AD work outside AFDA where “Red Herring” placed 2nd at The Colchester Film Festival in London. I am extremely grateful for my experience at AFDA and the people I created these productions with. Onwards and upwards!
