Director Statement

Inspired by my real life and events, I also wrote, produced, and recorded all the songs heard in the film (my musician alias 'Limboisreal' is credited).
Charlie Dug A Hole is a story about friendship and life in general. There's been times where I have been a 'Steven': too worried about my own issues to help or see my friends or family's problems. I've also been a 'Charlie': the friend who always puts on a smile and tries to be there for everyone yet never opens up about my own life and worries as I slowly dig myself deeper and deeper into a hole.
The whole point of the short film is to remind the audience that some times, a step back, or at the very least, a quick stop, is necessary in order to move forward, and to never be afraid to lean on those you hold closest.
