Shared Patio

short film

Brief:

A short film I made for the “Project Class” in 2015 where me and a group of Graphic Design and Advertising majors were challenged by the design department to direct our own films and engage in filmmaking as an alternate way of visual storytelling. This year
the brief was to create a short film based on a short story
of our choice.

Process:

I had recently picked up a collection of short stories by Miranda July. She is a very versatile artist and has practiced many forms
of storytelling. Her body of work includes films, short stories, monologue, digital media presentations, and live performance art. Hence, her writing consists of vivid imagery and I saw high potential in bringing the story to life on screen.

Producer: Andrew Klubertanz
Screenplay: Holli Harms
