Before I Wake (2011) - A Short Film by [ John Rockovich ]

Synopsis:
A person wakes from his sleep frightened for no reason. He awakes one day only to contemplate on committing suicide. Through failed attempts he wonders if there's a way out or more meaning to life.

Details:
Everything from the acting to the cinematography was all done by myself using a remote that came with the camera I was using. The editing along with all the post work was also done by me. This short film has taken me off and on 6 months to make, due to time difficulties, and I hope it is worth it.

Camera Used: Canon HF S200
Audio: Onboard Camera Mic
Edited In: Adobe Premiere

I hope you all like my film even though it holds depressing subject matter.

Thank you for watching.

@JJBfilm To tell ya the truth your videos were one of the reasons why I got a Canon HF S200 in the first place.

Brings up that question: "What is the meaning of life?"

[JohnRockovichFilm]

@billmossII I think that might have been what I was going for in the long run.
