Director Statement

Create a 35 second film that somehow utilized a bench. That was the assignment for a school project. Might not have seemed like much to make something out of, but deciding not to let the time limit or restrictions pull us down, my group and I ventured to create the coolest and most fun "bench project" ever by infusing it with an old-school comedic flare. Despite the short running time, it came out as something I'm quite proud of and really enjoyed creating.
