p’tit court-métrage co-écrit, réalisé et monté à trois, sur nos temps “libre” avec aucune cennes pour participer à la 13ème édition du Nikon film festival sur le thème “le nombre 13”. Y’a du nous trois là-dedans pi ce là-dedans (de 2min20) a tourné en quelque chose d’assez décent pour qu’on soit fier de partager ça.

Anyone whom been following me (from close or far) since last year, probably already knows about this underrated gem and my eternal love for it, so I won’t write about how this is the peak of American cinema, cause you already know it is:) and even though I don’t necessarily have the time to extend on my previous writing, I feel the sudden need to do so out of pure love for this experimental blockbuster that was released sixteen years…
