Eternal Springtime
Columbia College Chicago BFA Thesis, 2026
An android questions her true purpose after a chance encounter with a human, decades after the apocalypse.
Senior BFA students are asked to head the department of their concentration to collaborate on the creation of a ten minute short over the course of a year — from pre-production, through 3 shooting days, and post production.

Eternal Springtime is in post-production! Contact for inqueries &  access to footage.
