Our Team 

Chandelle Hamilton
​Director/Writer 

I am the Producer, Director, Writer, Editor, Director of Photography and the Subject in this short poetic documentary. My aspiration is to become a film director working on feature length independent film projects. This film is based on my personal journey as an adult to change careers from my corporate job into my passion of becoming a filmmaker. They truly are two worlds apart. I wrote this film not only as a way to find peace with this change in my life but also to help motivate others at any stage in life. I wanted to help encourage them to not shy away from change because of fear, because change is where the magic lays. When I’m not studying at Sheridan's Bachelor of Film and Television program as a film student, my other passions and interests include writing songs and travelling.

Andressa Back
Director of Photography

I'm a Cinematographer for The Wall Between Us. Usually, I play with words and concepts, but lately, I’m exploring camera work; experimenting is exciting. I’m from Brazil, and this documentary is very emotional for me because I’m also pursuing a second career on the journey to find happiness. I want to be a writer-director, developing stories either for film or TV - and literature. Storytelling is my passion, regardless of the language.

Patrick Thoma
Director of Photography & Graphics Designer

I’m a cinematographer on The Wall Between Us. I’m originally from the United States but am now living here in Canada making movies. During the summer I go back home and work as a cameraman for a local public broadcasting company. I love all aspects of making movies, but I especially love creating motion graphics and digital special effects. When I’m not going to school or working, I’m usually playing video games.

Braden Bailey
Assistant Editor 

I’m an editor on The Wall Between Us. I grew up in Canada and have been shooting and editing films since highschool, and I dream of doing camerawork or editing on a feature film. I enjoy working in film as it allows me to be more expressive with the stories I tell as well as helping others tell their story. Usually when I’m not working or doing schoolwork I tend to play videogames or make music here and there with Ableton.

Yishu Zhong 
Sound Designer/Editor 

​My dream job is to be a music video editor some day, because I really like editing short videos according to the beats. Luckily, I got an Intern job this summer! During my internship, I edited several advertising videos. Although advertising and music video are different, there are similarities. I still feel appreciative for my intern! By the way, I have a secret, please don’t tell Barden: I chose Sound stream because I know nothing about it, not because I like it, hahaha.
