The Twilight Saga: Eclipse Remake
Director, Producer
What Did I Do?
For a graduate scene exercise, I produced, directed, and casted a recreation of Scene 31 from The Twilight Saga: Eclipse — a quiet, emotionally layered exchange between Bella and Angela set against the backdrop of the film's central conflict. Rather than recreating the scene for spectacle, the goal was to honor its subtext: Bella's internal tension between her extraordinary life and the normal one she's quietly leaving behind.
I scouted talent from Syracuse University's VPA department through a formal casting process, built a shot list and storyboard to plan the visual language, and directed the scene in one day. The most rewarding part of the process was the rehearsal. Having both actresses in the room, watching the scene come to life, and giving real-time redirects to deepen the emotional story. Seeing the same actors I had selected from self-tape deliver exactly what the scene needed on set made the full arc of the process feel complete.
