My first short film!
Freshman year high school I remember my friends and I would shoot stupid fight scenes during lunch time. My friend Praket brought toy swords and we’d record each other fighting on the table in the courtyard, running around as if there weren’t students everywhere trying to just enjoy their meal before 5th period Latin.

Congratulations to…
