Tayza: The Powers Tayza: The Powers was my first short film. Shot in 2003 it proved a vital learning experence. It had originally been a full lenth script, but since the time limit for the film festival was only 10 minutes, the script had to be cut down.Shot in 2 days, and edited in quite a few weeks, Tayza: The Powers managed to tie for third in the film festival. Quite good, as the film festival was full of more advanced students.
