Watersprite
"Watersprite Film Festival is the world’s largest student film festival, dedicated to discovering and supporting emerging filmmakers through screenings, workshops, mentorship, and global community building.".
For the 2023 Watersprite Film Festival, I collaborated with a multidisciplinary team to reshape the festival’s visual identity across print and digital platforms. My focus was on editorial layout, visual hierarchy, and cohesive system design while maintaining individuality across pages. The project prioritised clarity, accessibility, and vibrancy, aligning with Watersprite’s mission to amplify emerging voices in cinema while creating an engaging, inclusive festival experience.

Watersprite is more than screenings. It creates space for dialogue, mentorship, and discovery. Panels, Q&As, and workshops transform the festival into a learning environment rather than a passive showcase.
