Reply To: Illation – Short Film

[Ryan]

Amy, “Illation” started as part of Act I I wrote for a feature script, but tonally it didn’t work with that story. So I salvaged the pages and crafted it into a short narrative that serves as a self-contained story, but could also serve as proof of concept for a larger story. The theme was where the interest for me started in this short film. I have had a lot of people ask if the film is autobiographical. It is not. But it does draw influence and inspiration from the institution of higher education, not unlike films such as Dead Poets Society, for example.
