Make Do is a stop-motion short film created as my thesis project during my master's studies at the BAU College of Arts and Design in 2021. Alongside co-directors Leah Blem and Fred Stanton, we wrote, directed, and animated the film over the course of six months. The story follows a child who goes fishing for the first time without their parent, facing the challenges of living independently which may prove to be overwhelming.​​​​​​​
