The Black Katana - USC Visual Sample

When a man is presented with a choice to take revenge on his wife's murderer, he battles with himself over the right thing to do.

I Directed, wrote, shot, edited, and did the visual effects and sound design for this film.

Do you mind me asking your GPA, ACT and/or SAT score. I don't see how you didn't get in with this. Your visuals are excellent!

@CMxPROD Well thank you very much!

I also don't mind. I honestly don't remember my SAT scores, but I did not submit them because I already graduated with an associate degree from a 2 year college with a 3.75 GPA. So, in the end, my SAT (never took the ACT) score would not have made much difference. Although I do believe, it wasn't a particularly great score haha. Thanks for watching and commenting!!!

@proffesors I unfortunately didn't get in. They did

@bakerskates7 They did have a lot of applicants though. I am thinking about trying again some time in the future.

@leorabk thank you! yea sure. Just make sure it's under 5 minutes and the storyline makes sense in those 5 minutes.

@zbeeken Thank you very much! I used a kessler crane with their dolly wheels on PVC piping for most of the shots. I am going to update the description with their decision. Thanks again for the comment!
