United States of AmericaA short film about paradoxes of love and life shot on 16mm Kodak film..
Synopsis911. John and Julie are happily married, but when unthinkable happens, is Julie ready to sacrifice everything to save John's life? And is it worth it?
Director's StatementThis is my first experimental short piece deliberately shot on 16mm film to produce that famous "film" look. I spent a lot of money on film, processing and telecine, and I believe it was worth every penny. It was my first experience as producer, director and screenplay writer. As you might expect, things didn't go smooth. My crew decided to quit after the second production weekend, but the second crew was fantastic, and eventually I was able to complete at least 80% of the planned footage. Overall it was a great experience to learn. Thanks for watching!
