Hobnobs follows Andy, an introverted older man living in the countryside with his beloved cat, Bonny. Deeply connected to nature, animals, and the quiet rhythms of rural life, Andy’s world is intimate and still. But as he begins to seek companionship beyond the solitude of his cottage, he slowly finds himself drifting from the very things that once gave him a sense of peace and belonging, with quietly devastating consequences.
As the editor of the short film Hobnobs, I had the opportunity in shaping raw footage into a cohesive and compelling narrative. This project challenged me to refine my storytelling instincts, ensuring that every cut and transition enhanced the film’s emotional and visual impact. It also marked my first experience working with Avid Media Composer, a significant step in my technical development and an invaluable introduction to industry-standard editing workflows. Navigating its tools and functionalities provided a deep learning experience, equipping me with the skills to approach future projects with greater precision and creativity.
