Up and Coming Director / Screenwriter

“Working on a film with dyslexia presents its own set of challenges. But for me, it's about embracing the constant evolution of the story. It's a journey where satisfaction with my directing is always a work in progress. Every tweak, every emotion invested, shapes the manifestation of it on the screen. Because when it truly moves me, that's when the story truly comes to life on screen.” -Ethan Everette

Ethan played a crucial role in the short film "Drifting," directed by Isabella Foley, where he served as the 1st Assistant Director.

"I had just finished filming my short film, 'Burrow Woods,' when a friend asked me last minute to “day play” for another student's thesis film. I was thrilled, still buzzing with adrenaline from my own project.”

“The Waiter” 2024

"My first time officially working alongside a director as an assistant was in the student thesis film, 'The Waiter,' directed by Anna Schaffer. I learned so much, and it really tested my character. It made me learn about leadership before I directed my own thesis film."

“Sunshine In

The Forest”

-2024

"I was thrilled after wrapping up my thesis film to be asked to design posters for someone else's project. In my own thesis, I crafted multiple posters for a character, and I got the chance to do the same for 'Sunshine In The Forest,' directed by Zoe Yu."
