Comments:

The first of three short films I created during my stint at the University of Southern California. It is heavily inspired by the Pacific Northwest and previous work in The Squatchin' Trilogy. The short film had to be a narrative story under 6 minutes with few or no lines of dialogue. There are multiple versions of the film that vary in length, pacing, and dialogue choice (2, 4, 5, or 6.5 minutes long). Goals: Dolly shots, cool car, Conrad Powell.
