About the film

Luck only gets you so far when the mission depends on trust.

Lucky Break follows Amber, a highly successful agent whose unconventional methods have earned results but little support from the people around her. When she asks for a promotion, she is told that proving she can collaborate with someone else is part of the job.

She is paired with Adam for a mission to rescue the kidnapped daughter of a senator. Amber prefers improvisation over careful planning and believes a lucky charm has helped carry her through every mission. That confidence is tested as the operation becomes more dangerous and conflict with her new partner pushes them apart.

When Amber is left facing the rescue without him, she has to confront how much she actually depends on the charm and whether independence means doing everything alone. By the end of the mission, the experience changes the way she sees both herself and the value of having a partner.

My roles

I contributed to the production both in front of the camera and as part of the camera department.

03 · Production

Action depends on timing, coordination, and trust.

Working on both sides of the camera meant contributing to the production in two very different ways.

As a background actor, I contributed to the world and activity happening within the scenes. Behind the camera, I also worked as 1st Assistant Camera, supporting the camera department throughout production.

The film moves between office dialogue, planning, action, and a warehouse rescue sequence, so consistency and coordination across departments were important to keeping the story moving. Working both on screen and with the camera team gave me a broader view of how those pieces come together in the finished film.
