Experiencing Interruptions?

"Baker Hotel"

As Halloween night falls on the sleepy Texas town of Mineral Wells, three boys look for more excitement than the typical candy search of their younger past. In an escalation of dares and pranks, Tyler (the trio's de facto leader), is challenged to do what no other would: make it to the top of the vacant, and surely haunted, Baker Hotel. Cheered on by the gathering town below, including childhood crush Ann Marie, Tyler braves the haunts and sprites of the very band that sets the score for this fast paced short film and music video.

Director Statement

What a rewarding experience to create a three-part short film based on William Clark Green's new album "Baker Hotel" beginning with the epic "Baker Hotel" single. Creating a story arc that follows our characters from adolescence to early adulthood was incredible.
