Of Sound Mind (2024) - student short film | inspired by wes anderson

With an unwanted package, ten minutes and three hundred dollars on the line, Joan battles the final obstacle before moving out for university: calling customer support.
A slightly absurd drama-comedy (??) This film was made by 5 silly little guys (Cindy, Jessica, Lotus, Zahra & me), shot within 12 hours (noon-midnight with an obscenely long dinner break) in my spare room. DIY film equipment eg. desk lamp lighting, sketchy game capture card to a laptop monitor, $6 gift wrap paper as wallpaper. Reusing (milking) my pink telephone because I bought it 2 years ago and it was 22 bucks including shipping
