MEET THE CAST
DEBBIE
A fellow student of the FMST Program, Debbie helped work as the set designer, assistant sound mixer, and PA for the film. despite her already large amount of responsibilities, Debbie deemed herself as the on-set Director of good vibes and enforced a strict good vibe policy.
MEET THE CREW
ERIK
As the writer and the director, working on this, my thesis project, gave me the ability to go outside of the classroom and sharpen the two skills I want to make a career out of, writing and directing. Bringing this story to life also allowed me to find closure on past insecurities and anxieties, as this film is loosely based on my life. It's important to write what you know, and tell stories that mean something to you.
SHAN
Fellow FMST student Shaun acted as the DOP on the project. His eye for framing and creative ability to change up a shot when necessary helped strengthen the film. This film wouldn't have been possible without Shaun and his creative mind and eye for details.
VISHAL
Fellow FMST student Vishaul took on so much responsibility working as the head sound mixer. Tasked with making sure all three actors' mics worked and voices came out crisp and clear was a responsibility he took on without hesitation. Vishaul is a sturdy ship that can weather any storm.
