Director Statement

I had first written Gary Ferguson Dies with my good friend Tommy Brazelton as a one-act stage play, for a high school theater class. Once I started film school at DePaul University, I decided to bring Gary's purgatorial world to life as a movie. Gary Ferguson Dies is the first short film I ever made, and couldn't have done it without the help of my amazing crew and the resources available to me through my school. Please enjoy!
