Check out this scene I shot last semester with CINE students. This fun scene was based on “Dudes” by David Dalton & Chad Schnackel.
Luke wakes up his best friend, Alex, to help him figure out what happened the night before but first, he needs to convince him that it is truly him.

 

A FRIENDLY TURN opened at LA Shorts!

It is not looking good for Corey during this routine visit to the doctor. This is going to be a hard hard pill to swallow.  🙂
