The Cross Cuts Film Festival is an annual high school film, photography, and graphic design festival for high school students in Brant, Norfolk, and Haldimand County.

In my Grade 12 year, I volunteered to co-host and co-coordinate the event, which took place on June 6, 2019.

Design duties involved creating brand assets for the festival, including tickets, programmes, award certificates, teaser trailers, social media posts, judge biographies, and sponsorship slides for the night of the show.

In addition, I completely overhauled the Cross Cuts Film Fest website to cleanly showcase the winning entries, and to properly archive winners from the previous years.

The website had been inconsistently maintained by past student volunteers, and needed to be re-organized, redesigned and future-proofed for ease of use.

These efforts resulted in the most successful iteration of the Film Festival to date. In the years since, I have returned as a Design Judge for the festival three times.
