For the second shooting assignment for our film history class, we had to make a narrative short film using only in-camera editing. My wonderful friend and classmate Nick Tuck stars in this film. I wanted to make something experimental, yet more personal and profound in tone and story. Enjoy!

Life is so simple in black and white for Mike, Matt and John, until they find something out of the ordinary... 

This is the first shooting assignment given to my class and I in FMP 100 Film History at The Los Angeles Film School. We were instructed to make any short film employing early camera tricks such as jump cuts, multiple exposures, forced perspective, reverse filming, and so on. Enjoy! Written, Directed, Acted, Filmed and Edited by: Matthew Freres & Omar T. Allen
