AbstractBaker is an independently financed low budget film that examines the ambiguous nature of compassion in the day-to-day life of hospice care personnel. The creation of the film entailed three stages: pre-production, production and post-production in which numerous artistic, financial and logistic challenges arose and threatened the completion of the picture. The complex nature of the subject matter required particular attention to the structure of the script. The budgetary restrictions enforced a minimalist approach to locations as well as other creative considerations such as the size of the cast and period setting. The shooting location dictated the framework of the aesthetic approach in design as well as in mise-en-scene for the film. The post-production phase redefined the film once the structure became dependant on the relationship between footage and aural elements rather than on the blueprint of the script. This artistic journey imposed a need for creative problem solving and adaptability. The process of working on Baker allowed me to have a full understanding of my role in the collaboration with talent, the management of crew and my creative duty to maintain the essence of the script while realizing my artistic vision. The overall experience has deepened my commitment to storytelling in the collaborative art of cinema. The result is a highly personal expression of my voice as a director, a female, and social critic
