The Second Story
The second short film I made with my film partner Kamran Rathod, we returned with bigger ambitions and a bigger budget. Straying from the grounded tone of Lost Time, we went full sci-fi with a wild concept and professional quality SFX. This project was made (safely) fully during the COVID-19 lockdown which provided special challenges.
With a dedicated crew, we were able to get the whole film shot and have access to locations that we might not have otherwise. It was a great experience and super fun to venture into new territory going from a quiet story about a mother and daughter to a man growing another man in his bathtub.
