Last semester, David took a class where he had to complete a 50-hour senior project. Needless to say, it was very time-consuming. For his project, he decided to make a short film based on a true story about his grandma during Christmastime. He worked very hard on this project and learned a lot. And being the overachiever that he is, he spent over 100 hours working on the script, storyboard, finding actors, planning, setting up locations, filming, directing, editing, and whatever else goes into making a short film. We ran into a few bumps along the road and but, all in all, I think it turned out great. We had some amazing actors and a great behind-the-scenes crew. And it's a sweet story about the true meaning of Christmas.
I'm so proud of David and all the hard work he has put into his school. He's built himself an amazing portfolio and I'm excited to see what he'll come up with next. He's going to graduate next semester and then... Look out world!! Here he comes!
But, until then, I hope you all enjoy this short film called "Red Beads and a Pocket Knife" by David Landeen.
