(L-R) Producer Landon Clarken, Director Jace Littlejohn, and Director of Photography Josh Armour discuss a shot.
Writing a script, especially one with a thriller/action tone with multiple people’s input, was a fun challenge. A frequent watcher of video essays dissecting screenwriting on YouTube, I loved being able to finally apply my knowledge to this project. From that knowledge and our team’s collaboration, we made a special film that is close to all of our hearts. Feel free to watch it below.
Filmmaking
In late January, I had a special opportunity.
For somebody who is a self-proclaimed cinephile, it is shocking that I never took it upon myself to be a part of an original film till Penn State 48. The competition, where applicants were sorted into groups based on their desired positions, matched me with a remarkable crew of people who embodied their roles perfectly (I hope I did too as Screenwriter!). Without our instant chemistry and united goal of getting a short film done in just one weekend, it is unlikely we would have made the deadline.
An important moment in our film!
