    A college, capstone film that was independently finnanced through donations and my own personal money. Played at ASU’s Senior Showcase and hopefully other film festivals later down the road. I wrote, directed, acted, and even helped produced this film. It’s a personal coming-of-age comedy about the cinema experience and moving into the next chapter of our lives. Inspired by the teen John Hughes films of 80s and my love for going to the theater as a kid.
