Brother Angel (feature) Part 5/5

Brother Angel is my first feature film, which is to say that the running length exceeds forty minutes (forty-five to be exact). I've spent about a year on this, from conception and storyboarding to shooting and editing the footage. A large percentage of the camerawork came from the very talented Cooper Smith, who acted as co-director throughout production. I wish to praise the fantastic work of all the actors and actresses who volunteered to be a part of this project and especially my brother who starred as Donald Brown. Thank you all so much!
