Emily Shantery's performance still gives me goosebumps, I just remember being in that car with her, making her scream. It was both an awesome and terrible experience as a director. And then she just shrugged her shoulders after the first take, and said, "I have another take on it...where I yell NOOOOO."
Little genius.
Thanks for all your help making this film! You did so much!

the voice-over is a poem I wrote in 2007, as part of my application to USC. It was supposed to be your "most emotional moment," but I realized I only had fragments of the day my father died, which is 25 years ago this month (07.20.1986). Bits and pieces. So I made this movie from the poem as part of my upper level package for my undergrad degree.
Thanks for watching!
