My first film at Florida State University College of Motion Picture Arts.
This year, I have met many amazing filmmakers and a very supportive staff, all striving to build off each other.
Writing "Retribution" surfaced from one thought I had: "Can good people escape from doing bad things?" Everyone struggles with morals and I enjoy the idea of materializing temptation, innocence, anger, and regret.
My hope is for audiences to ignite thoughtful discussions on why people do bad things. How can we work to prevent these thoughts? It's amazing what a crew of five can do in 12 hours!
