Rivera as Joe Riv), Best Action Drama short, Best Drama, Best Short Film Over 10 minutes, Outstanding Cast and Best Movie Poster. It premiered on July 29th and we had the pleasure of having a Q&A with everyone who attended as well as other filmmakers in the industry.
We shot the film in one day during the Pandemic (July 2020) with an awesome cast and crew of local LA aspiring artists. We had a budget of $3000 going into production and raised another $2000 after
We had awesome success with the short film and are so proud of what it was able to accomplish. Because of this success we started to think, Imagine if we were able to tell the full story!
