Story idea:
Originally this film was about a homeless man who was in search of new pants. That idea evolved to him wanting to chase a dream of becoming a filmmaker -- that's what the teaser is based on. As you can see there is a drastic change from what's in the teaser to what the final cut became. Due to lack of resources the idea became more simplistic and is what you see in the film. Which turned into something with more meaning.
Behind The Scenes Info:
Pre-Production began in October-ish of 2011. Principal photography began in December with filming to wrap the same month. I originally shot this film with a different actor but he wasn't available when I needed him so I turned to my buddy Rob to help and he did not disappoint. The entire setting of the film was supposed to take place in winter. But, things got in the way and we shot just one day during winter.
Months later we resumed filming in June and finished shortly after. In those months I slightly mofidied the script to take place in summer. One problem I encountered was making the switch from winter to summer in the film. It turned out pretty well as you see in the final film that I did a transitionary shot from a branch in winter to the same branch only in summer.
