A Short Film I Wrote: Star Wars Made Me This Way
This is a fun project I worked on with Erik C. Anderson & Eric Kurland. It was shot at the Los Angeles Convention Center during the Star Wars 30th Anniversary Celebration. Scenes were shot on the fly with convention attendees, and we weren’t entirely sure what we’d have in the end. An interesting creative process. Step #1: Shoot. Step #2: Edit. Step #3: Write it.
