This film was created for my application to USC, Chapman (ACCEPTED), and LMU, using this prompt:
Without using dialogue, voice over or music with lyrics, create a film that is under two minutes and is about a character making a difficult decision. Show that the character is pulled in two different directions at an emotional level, visualize their process of consideration and show that they make a decision.
