I wrote this short film fresh out of college with the vision of creating a dream role for myself to play. I wanted it to be close to and relate to my family, so I based the role of the Storyteller on my Grandpa and the role of Madeline on my Mother and the fear we both hold of losing our most precious stories. This story is dedicated to my Grandfather, John Patrick McGlone, the greatest storyteller I've ever known, and my Mother, Carrie Jean McGlone-Hulbert, the greatest part of my heart. I love you forever.
Much love & movies,
John Alan Hulbert
