IN THE GRAY - a short film by USC students

Donation protected

Hi! My name is Brian Bouffard, and I'm the writer/director of IN THE GRAY, a short horror-noir film to be shot this upcoming September in Los Angeles.

IN THE GRAY is the story of Billie Gray, a young but tired homicide detective working for the LAPD in the early 1950's. Billie wants nothing more than to get out of the chaotic city, but before they can transfer to a police station in the countryside, the Chief of Police commands them to solve one last case: a serial killer who targets LAPD's morally compromised detectives.

IN THE GRAY deals with themes surrounding ambiguity. This ambiguity reveals itself in the nuanced look at "cops" and "killers." Ambiguity, however, also reveals itself through a subtle and latent gender identity crisis that Billie, the film's protagonist, goes through when they feel out-of-place in a gender binary.

IN THE GRAY's crew is comprised mostly of USC film production students. Besides myself (writer & director) our crew features Scout Brodsky (producer), Axil Beebe (producer) and Nico LePera (cinematographer). Joining us from the East Coast is Devan Travers (composer) who is a current student at the Berklee College of Music in Boston.

The film's budget, which is $5,000, will go towards locations, equipment, food and transportation for the cast & crew.

Thank you very much for reading, and we sincerely hope you donate to make our film a reality!
