SHORTFILMTEXAS (SFT): What is North Street Bummer about?
DANIEL LAABS (DL): I think the plot I outlined to my cast and crew was, a girl walks across Austin, Texas with every intention to say goodbye to her present and past lovers before she leaves town only she doesn't know how. While I often intentionally let my films be a bit ambiguous plot-wise, this was the furtherest I have ever gone. This film is not meant to tell a story, it is meant to be a visual meditation. Should someone want a story I have included a brief synopsis, but it is optional and unnecessary. For me a film can be successful in other ways.
