Director Biography - BJ Turner III

Born in the 80's in rural Arkansas into a white/hispanic mixed family, BJ spent his childhood in front of the TV nurturing a love for bombastic genre movies. But it wasn't until watching Antonio Banderas in Desperado, and seeing the blend of Mexican culture and Hong Kong action that he knew what he wanted to do: make the kind of films he wanted to see while filling them with the kind of representation he always wished were there.

Director Statement

In December of 2020, on our very first outing as a film crew, we set out on a ridiculous quest: to make five short films in five days for less than $1500 total. Why did we do this? I'm still not sure.

But five days later, we emerged with five completed films. This short, filmed on day 4, is the largest of the five, and contains some of our funnest set-pieces from the week. It's also worth noting that the weather was absolutely horrible, and all of our exteriors were shot either during, or immediately following an Arkansas sleet storm. Much love to the actors and crew for pushing through and completing this awesome short!
