Additional Info: My second short film that I made as an undergrad at UC Berkeley. This was originally started as a short story that I wrote back in high school as a study psychopathy, which I've always found interesting. When presented with the need to make my first short film, I wrote two screenplays one for my first short film "Far From Close" and this one as a back-up thinking that it would be easier than "Far From Close." Little did I know...

Making this film was a nightmare on so many levels. From having to secure a location for the party scene, dealing with public tennis courts, recording narration and dealing with a hard drive crash. I literally finished this film at the last minute; I handed it in about 7 minutes before it had to be screened. I was still filming some footage the day it had to be screened. I even thought I would not actually graduate as a result of this because I had so much trouble securing a location for the party scene.

Even now, there are still some sound issues and the party scene is nothing like it should be (due to only having 5 hours at the location), but at this point I just sorta let the film R.I.P.
