The Eternal Sleep

My senior year at FAU saw a busy spring and summer. In the spring I was working on many class projects, and when summer came along I was selected to direct the FAU Film Club's summer production. I had presented to the club's selection committee a riveting expose on my knowledge of the film noir techniques and my vision for the project. Down to myself and another wonderfully knowledgeable student on the subject (the one, Casey Stone) I was, in the end, selected to direct.

We shot this short film for a week in the summer. With a budget of a few thousand dollars, it was our largest yet. We were able to secure period costumes for the actors which really put this production over the top.

The following is the 'director's cut' of the film. The editors and I made a few adjustments after the public screening that was held in August of 2005.
