When autumn comes / 2024
Written and directed by Christopher Jacobs
When Autumn Comes is a feature length film about a Filipina university student studying in London. As she navigates the challenges of being a foreign student in a new country, a subdued yet uncanny relationship sparks between herself and her lecturer, Apollo.As their relationship deepens, Maria begins to notice strange occurrences happening to the people in her life. Her friends and family members start to physically transform, taking on new appearances and personalities.This was my first attempt at making a transcendental film, so I view it as a stylistic challenge in addition to a great opportunity to learn more about the feature-length filmmaking process.You can now stream the film through Amazon Prime Video:
