Gnosis - Olympus Edition

As Event Head, I directed and filmed the cinematic teaser trailer for GNOSIS – Olympus Edition, my college’s annual STEM event. The video followed a mysterious, thriller-like narrative, building suspense around the unveiling of the event. By combining symbolic storytelling with strong visuals, the trailer established GNOSIS as more than just a competition — it became an experience that students were drawn into.
