Windowbreaker - Short Film by Tze Chun (Sundance 2007)

A string of break-ins creates a wave of paranoia in a racially-mixed suburb.

Tze Chun's 2007 Sundance Film Festival short film selection served as the foundation of his debut feature CHILDREN OF INVENTION (now in theaters). This short, made for just $600 and shot in his childhood home in Randolph, Massachusetts, earned Chun a place in Filmmaker Magazine's 25 New Faces of Independent Film, and ended up playing over 30 international film festivals.

The security store was creating a fearful enviroment by braking into houses in order to increase demand for their product.

The way i see it this is trying to express how people are so quick to blame minorities when half the time theyre innocent. Among other things as well
