Great work, Dena.
The lead, Eugene Lindsey Jr., gave a very effective performance. Good physical actor.

Hey guys! Thanks to Don for posting this!!!
Thanks so much. Ok just so you guys know.. it's so hard to make a short especially when you have all volunteers.. here are some of the things that went wrong:
--The camera guy had only used his camera twice and only owned it a week, so everything is out of focus. --The actress refused to take off her mask and quit half way through the shoot. --The director decided to change a few things in the script that he thought was cool... but did not make mush sense to me (the writer). --We couldn't find any location so we had to use my house, which I had promised to never film in again per my husband's demand! --And strap Covid onto the end of that list and omg.. was a nightmare..
thank you all so much for the support! I love this commity! I love writing and making films.. it's hard work. All of it. EUGENE Lindsey in this though was solid... he is a very solid actor and I was very honored to work with him. I never have money to 'pay' crew/actors so everything is volunteer... normally we do better but with Covid.. it's been rough.
Thank you again for your 'likes' we hope to reshoot this post Covid(if there is such a thing). :)
Love to you guys!!

Wow, almost everything that could go wrong, did, huh? But you got it done!
I couldn't help but giggle at the camera guy comment.
