I am currently in the rehearsal process for this short film produced with the generosity of the Screen Actor's Guild. This drama explores the lives of three 30-somethings trying to find their way through life in New York City. It was written from a realist perspective, and is going to be shot using as much natural light and diegetic sound as possible in order to enhance that effect. More on this to come!
Actors: here's the latest revision of the script.
