ABOUT US
As a team of Nine, they started out with a small idea that slowly grew into a huge major project. With looming
doubt, as Carolyn Petritsch stood in front of the whole of the 2021 class of brimming almost graduates to
pitch an idea, her knees almost buckled with fear. Her teammates had incredible design skills, and were her
only saving “Grace”. Their incredible support of the idea was a recipe for sweet success. Not long after the
team became eight, but still through the enthusiasm of the group rose to the challenge.

As a Director and Writer is Christopher & Jonathan Nolan. As a DoP / Cinematographer is Emmanuel
Lubezki. The collaboration between the Nolan Brothers as filmmakers inspires my work heavily, on top of that
their obscure and elaborate stories and influence the way I write and direct my films. Lubezki’s use of
natural lighting to mold a scene inspires my own work as a cinematographer.

Aiming to support up and coming independent artists by giving them a chance to compete with bigger artists
by using available resources and industry knowledge to propel their careers forward. By joining the
collective and becoming part of the brand, an artist becomes a part of a community and network with a wide
consumer/audience reach.
Gried: A Mortal's Journey is a 3D action side scroller where you play as a god attempting to become
mortal so they can grow old and die with their human lover. Other gods disapprove of this action and act as
bosses for the player to face and in doing so the player slowly loses their god powers increasing the
challenge for future fights. Studying Game Design here at SAE Creative Media Institute came with passion
from games, and to begin something new.

A certain milestone that has made me change the way how thinking creatively is having a job at Channel 9.
Having only knowledge of the film and television industry from SAE in a controlled learning environment
versus the real world is such a big shift. From graduating from SAE, I felt like a big fish in a small pond,
but now working at Channel 9 I feel like a sea monkey in an ocean.

His passion for music is strong and he is well aware of it being a huge part of his future. Getting to know
musicians and learning the ins and outs of the development process in creating music has helped him to become
the Audio Engineer one can be proud to be. Knowing there is massive transformation of not only a tiny note
becoming a beautiful sound, but it compares to a person growing in spirit and developing a sense of style and
flavor all their own, with a sense of belonging.
