MORE INFO

This film was made as part of the 2016 CinemaFormosa39hr Short Film Contestival.

Since Film Noir was our selected genre, we figured this was a good opportunity for us to pay homage to two of  cinema's classic cinematic styles: Film Noir & German Expressionism. Since Film Noir emerged from 1930's expressionism, we felt it was important to incorporate a bit of both into our movie.

We were very fortunate to have a solid team that worked well together and shared common goals. It was actually a lot of fun making this movie, and not stressful at all.

We hope you enjoy our little movie as much as we enjoyed making it for you to watch!
