Director Statement

Without Reason is a short film I wrote and directed for class in the second semester of my second year in college. I had to work with a limited crew, but I think that the film came out well. For the assignment, about a minute of content had to be cut from the film's original runtime, which unfortunately meant the loss of several well-shot scenes, but I believe that the story and twist still come across and hold together. Hugely proud of what my cast and crew were able to accomplish with such limited resources and time.
