Wish - 2025

Cinematographer

Wish is a narrative short film directed by Bailey Karraker, with Zach Chagnon working as the Cinematographer. The film explores the rediscovery of curiosity and hope as a young adult woman unamused and troubled with her day to day life becomes entranced by an antique ring. The film utilizes a curated color palette, a contrast of close-up and wide and long shots, to explore the shifting internal reality of the young woman as she moves through this journey. The piece employs mixed-media sequences that bridges the adulthood malaise she is feeling with the tactile imagination of childhood.
