</div>
<div>This is the story of my life. A college graduate with a BA in Broadcast Journalism (a dying industry) and an MFA in Film (another dying industry), still clinging to the dream of “making it” on my terms. I’ve carried many odd jobs throughout my life, but the job I had making deliveries for a large corporation, which we will refer to as AmaZen, takes the cake. Ten-hour days, spent driving and delivering over 250 packages to over 150 stops, for a measly $200 per day.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I tried the Executive Assistant and PA routes, but both took up an extreme amount of time, leaving little room for my extracurricular creative pursuits. So, I followed the advice of Mark Duplass with the spirit of Robert Townsend and Melvin Van Peebles (maxing out credit cards). I wrote and produced multiple shorts with my film school friends, but now it’s my turn to sit in the director’s chair. It’s time to cash in on the goodwill and favors I’ve collected to give myself an opportunity. What better way to do that than to make a self-indulgent and self-deprecating comedic short film about a ridiculous accident I had working at AmaZen? Yes, this is based on a true story.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>The goal is to capture the absurdity of what we’re willing to put ourselves through as artists while simultaneously telling a shamelessly self-deprecating story that lets every other filmmaker know, “I see you, I’m one of you.” This is a hard journey; it only gets harder the longer you do it. The one thing we can all count on in this industry is the insane and insanely talented people in our community to tell us to keep going foolishly. This film is an homage to those people.
