Short film made for CCHU9070 IM3 (filmmaking elective).
SYNOPSIS
With his scholarship hanging by a thread after a sharp drop in his GPA, Julius dedicates himself to an ambitious plan to keep his scholarship and turn his academic life around for good. But as pressure and paranoia mount, Julius faces a daunting question: how far is he willing to go to ensure success?
COMMENTS
The entire soundtrack was custom-made by Rowbay (https://rowbay.itch.io). Done in 20 hours in a Discord call while I edited the film. https://youtu.be/YhrtHtjEbXU
Also, first time getting approval to record on private property (the rock climbing gym at the start). It came out so nicely too. I hope I can shoot in unique locations more. I like giving people something to look at instead of just a pier or a park over and over.
It was fun. I'd recommend this CC if you want an excuse to link your GPA with your filmmaking skills.
