As her first short, Ella Wu wrote, directed and produced “Patterns,” which is one of those story-within-a-story films.
The narrative unfolds through the lens of a young author struggling with writer’s block, unable to find an appropriate ending for her character, when in reality, she’s talking about herself.
It was filmed over the course of a week on Nantucket Island, MA, and due to COVID-19, all of the filming was done on her own. She even biked 10 miles to get that lighthouse shot!
