Experiencing Interruptions?

Myra's Distinction

Valedictorian candidate Myra knows it all until a mysterious earthquake changes everything. Joined by her two friends and a rogue professor they try to get her life back on track.
This short film was made at Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne in Fort Wayne, Indiana in our film production class of only 13 students. We were tasked with creating a short film in three months from scratch with zero budget. We are very proud of the finished product we got after hours of work and sleepless nights in only our second media production class.
