Diary of a film school student - Second Project

This is long overdue, but here it is: my second film school project. It's a short fiction piece I wrote, directed and edited last December. We did have several weeks of pre-production, but we had to shoot the entire thing in one day. Even though it was a big challenge, I admit my shoot went very well.

If I remember correctly, we were on set for 12 straight hours. We did run into some troubles with sound, which explains why audio in this one is not optimal. That said, I am proud of this film, especially because I had zero budget, not much time to shoot, and no time to rehearse or plan anything in greater detail.

About the story: the film follows Brad, a young screenwriter with total writer's block. In an attempt to break free from his struggle to come up with an idea for a script, Brad invents a character to help him out. Alas, that character suddenly appears before him, ready to teach Brad a lesson he will never forget.

Thanks to my entire crew for making this one possible. Many thanks also to my actors Steven Kamp and Jason Cusson. I had a blast doing this.
