Bobby Womack’s rendition of James Taylor’s Fire and Rain sets the tone for a dark journey of a young man. While he drives through the night and recalls some of his most cherished memories, this young man knows that all good things must come to an end. I directed and edited this short film with the help of some tireless family members and dedicated friends.

This video was filmed using multiple locations and spanned over weeks. I planned for months figuring out specific shots, scouting locations and how to safely film on a moving car. We built an off-door camera rig and created our own dolly system for big pan shots. This project was not only about bringing the viewer along for a ride, but it was also a test to capture the shots of a big budget video production with virtually no budget. With my efforts to reach a big production value, I subsequently drew the attention from the police. It turns out that a large plume of smoke creeping from an abandoned road is not the best way to keep a low profile.
