An original short horror film with sci-fi elements and themes.

Synopsis: Preparing for scary movies with his girlfriend on Halloween night, Isaiah soon realizes she's not coming home...and he may never be able to leave.

Closed Circuit is a horror short film shot in just two nights with minimal cast and crew, and only using the gear I had available (and one locally rented lens). I really wanted to practice and stretch what I could do as a filmmaker without relying on cinema cameras, full lighting packages, and a crew. I directed and shot it myself, with only a tripod and shoulder mount as my camera accessories. Considering I normally just direct, write, act, and do still photography, I'm happy with the results. See below for the gear I used on this quick shoot!
