Cupidity

This was the first narrative short film we shot at The Brooks Institute, based loosely on a story I wrote in fifth grade. Now that it's been years since completing this project, I cringe whenever I watch it, seeing my own lack of understanding in the language of film. That said, I think there's still some entertainment value to be had in it, so I hope you enjoy.
