Untitled No. 9
Straying from the narrative shorts we love to make, this film is a fun, unique and somewhat "trippy" meditation on life. A verbal montage of various songs, we made this film to test our P2 camera and how well it would work with green screen. We ended up with loads of positive feedback about the piece's mellow-dramatic flare. We still giggle when the actor looks us right in the eye and says "... but love me".

I Will Not

His devotion to duty is so great that he has developed a tendency to arrest his dates for minor offenses.

Matt takes the bet and resolves not to arrest this girl, but he finds that prospect harder than he imagined.
