Variations on a Theme by Peter Collins Campbell
www.petercolli...
"I had been tinkering with this concept of a couple splitting into different versions of themselves as a feature for a while but wasn’t making a ton of progress with it, and on a trip out to LA I was hanging out with my friend Sophia Dunn-Walker, who is an actor and writer/director herself, and she threw out that we should make something while I was in town. I wrote the short really quickly while at this house I was dogsitting at, we were gonna shoot it right away just with us, but it grew and grew and it ended up being shot back in Chicago where I’m from originally, with a full crew."

very well made

[@davidedgar5923]

Interesting premise. Seems to play on the variations of personalities in a given person as they are discovered in a relationship. The people we meet arent always the people we fall in love with. In tuen the people we fall in love with dont always stay the same. Quite a profound concept.
