"Together and Better" - Experimental / Silent / Musical
TOGETHER AND BETTER was then made for the international FOUR POINTS FILM PROJECT competition. TOTAL RUNTIME again became a FINALIST, placing in the TOP 12 of 139 films from around the world.
The film was also selected by arthouse and music video circles, as well as traditional festivals, while garnering awards consideration. Much of its success was found overseas in Europe.
Everything, including music, was created from scratch over 1 long weekend.
