This is the second short film that I've written and directed. The concept for the script came to me under unfortunate circumstances, when a good friend of mine was killed in a dirt biking accident this year and I was grappling with how to deal with the loss.
This story is about a young writer who returns home to attend his best friends wake, but when he gets there he feels estranged from his family and friends, and longs for the ability to just let out his frustration and cry.
I would like to dedicate this film to John Dubanowich and Gale McCarthy. They were two amazing people, and I am so happy I was able to grow up with them.
I hope everyone enjoys the film!
