While studying she was taught screenwriting by Blue Murder's Ian David, and "fell hard" for it.
Her new film, Vampir, was produced by Nicole Coventry and will premiere at next month's St Kilda Film Festival..
Off the back of it, Beyersdorf was also shortlisted for Sydney Film Festival's Lexus Short Film Fellowship, presided over by Judy Davis.
Vampir came out of a single image, of "a guy walking across a field", said Beyersdorf.
"I started to think how easy it is to misunderstand people, and to judge people by the way that they look, and for the consequences to be quite full on."

For the best part of 20 years Chris Blackburn tried his hand at writing film scripts, a sideline to his day jobs as a newspaper and TV reporter, reality show producer and, currently, as a co-executive producer on Big Brother.
Eighteen months ago he had an idea for a crime drama about a young man whose sister has been brutally murdered, set primarily in a row of vacant houses near his home on the north coast of Nsw.
Blackburn wrote the script and asked his son Tim, a TV editor who has directed several short films to direct. Entitled Burns Point, the film is now in day seven of a 21-day shoot in and around the town of Ballina.
Asked how he.s financed the film, Chris tells If, .It.s mostly me. I.ve saved up for this and put money aside." Cast and crew are working on deferred. fees in some cases.

The 1980s is a vivid era in many people.s memories . shoulder pads, big hair, and acid-wash jeans among them. Recapturing that flavour has its own particular challenge when technology adds its own distortions to the prism of memory.
TV1 crime series Killing Time successfully navigated the three-decade journey by taking an unconventional path.
.People don.t tend to shoot drama these days on film and it was a chance to strike out a different look really,. cinematographer Martin McGrath Acs says of his choice to shoot Super 16 rather than digital.
.You.ve got to admit too, in the back of our minds . even though it wasn.t often expressed . was that Underbelly was out there and it.s completely blanketed that genre to a degree. We just tried to clutch for something that would give us a bit of an edge, something visually arresting and something that set it apart.
