This film was made as an entry to the TV show The Lot. The time limit was 5 minutes, and I didn’t have any films that I felt comfortable cutting down to that length. So I conceived of this idea and filmed it the next day. Editing took a few days, but we managed to get it in on schedule. Someday they will put it on the official website, here, but until then you can contact me for a copy.

The story concerns a young man, down on his luck, who goes out in search of his birth father. It is the first of my films that is straight drama. Not much dialog, very slow-paced and (hopefully) moody. I’m proud of this one mainly because we managed to make a quality short, from idea to finished product, in only one week.

    The growth in your film making has really come about in this picture. I recommend everyone to pick this short film up and learn something or two about vulnerablity and precious moments in life we may all take for granted.
