three bullets
This is the first project I ever wrote and directed which was produced on a budget of around £200. Although I believe it is ultimately flawed as a story and the overlapped edit style between scenes (which was a creative choice to meet the submission requirement on length) damaged the concept even more so, I still appreciate much of the cinematography, acting and sound design.
