Asshole

DIGITAL SHORT

Role: Director / Producer / Editor

Director, myself, wanted to narrate a simple story of showing how individuals struggle with making choices in life and overcoming internal obstacles, inspired a true story of mine.
The story takes place in an Imaginary Place, which represents the protagonist internal thoughts and psychological states.
Blue focuses on freedom, intuition, imagination, inspiration, confidence, and wisdom.
White focuses on purity, innocence, neutrality, and new life.
Black focuses on mystery, power, elegance, sophistication, sadness, and anger.
We used Anamorphic Lenses to emphasize the negative space that revolves around a man of incompetence, loneliness, and naiveness.
Implications of Theatrical and Improvisational acting were implemented in a lot of scenes, to add the surreal element to the story.

LOGLINE

A naive and selfless mobile sales representative, who lacks any understanding of what true self-confidence is, turns into an asshole to his customers in hopes to make sales and avoid getting laid off, after encountering a homeless guy, formerly a successful car dealer, as a mentor. Finding balance between being an asshole & being a pushover.

The idea of a timid and introverted protagonist struggling to succeed in his career by having to become more expressive and self-driven while finding a balance between the two extremes has been a story that I was inspired to write, especially for young adults.

A film made for young adults who are wanting to challenge themselves and move forward...
