Winner of the The Academy Award®-Qualifying Indy Shorts Youth Narrative 2021, and Shortlisted for IMDb New Filmmaker 2020 aged just 15, Ava is a rising star in fresh filmmaking. A multi talented actor, musician and artist, Ava began her performance career aged 12, working with Sam Mendes in his West End hit The Ferryman. Often working from creative mind-pops, Ava is a natural advocate of the Theatre of Cruelty, as she loves nothing more than to startle her audience’s senses with light, sound, dreamlike sequences and shocking endings.

Director Statement

The concept of 'Hello Frisco' came to me as I was thinking about what FUN it could be coming out of Covid Lockdown. 2020/2021 was a long, dark year and I thought 'What the hell', I'll take this absurd idea, grab some actors and shoot it in one day. And it worked. I hope you enjoy watching as much as we enjoyed making this film.
