Graduate Work
I earned my Master’s Degree from Temple University where I worked on a short film with a group of classmates. The script used in this film came from a student in the script writing class which we then edited and adapted to fit our budget and capacity. We filmed in various locations throughout Philadelphia and casted local talent.
There is No Future in the Past
Elapse is a short film about a young man’s addiction to memory inducing drug Elapse. Connor soon re-lives some of his memories and realizes that he needs to move on from the past that he so desperately seeks to re-live through Elapse.
To promote our short film we created website to share behind the scenes pictures, highlighted cast and crew, and trailers. I assisted in the design of the website, created two short cast trailers (below), and wrote blogs posts that described our pre-production, production, and post-production process.
Nathan Buck took on the role of Connor, who is addicted to a memory inducing drug Elapse. After, Connor takes a dangerously high dosage of Elapse we are taken through Connor’s memory and realize that perhaps we are the least reliable narrators in our own lives.
Nia Golden takes on the important role of Abigail, Connor’s best friend, the only person who is there for him as his addiction worsens, and manifests as the guide in Connor’s memories.
