Ellie Tracey - BA (Hons) Filmmaking
I'm Ellie, a multidisciplinary artist from Liverpool. My background in Fine Art helps to fuel my creative process as I explore themes like nostalgia, femininity and identity within my filmic work.
My major film, Dear Diary, delves into the raw, unfiltered emotions of a shy, introverted, teenaged overthinker, through the lens of my 22-year old self. By revising and reacting to the diaries I kept during my formative teenaged years, I create a dialogue between the past and present versions of myself, bridging a gap through time. The result offers a unique and deeply personal exploration of memory, growth, femininity and self-reflection, bringing my younger voice back to life on screen.
Aswell as my filmic work, I also have a passion for makeup and SFX, and have worked on numerous independent films, creating makeup looks and even gory, handmade props. I fused my love of film and makeup by creating a short film in which I displayed three diverse makeup looks on myself to showcase my creative range as a self taught MUA.
