Director Statement

I made this film with a group of my peers for our Capstone project at the University of Oklahoma. My brother-in-law and I wrote the script back in December of 2022 simply because we wanted to make a spy movie. When I found out the theme for my Capstone class was "Dystopias", I knew it was the perfect opportunity to make this short film. I pitched it to my peers, and we got right to work. This is the finished product.
