DEATH by 1783pictures

Mr. John Davis races out of his home and drives off in a confused state. While driving he picks up a mysterious hitchhiker who, through verbal taunting, slowly brings John to realize he has committed a grave sin.

Shot back in 2003, this short film was thought to be lost after a catastrophic hard drive crash. Unable to find the DVD export of a near final cut I had burned, I just set the project asside and moved on, not wanting to recapture the MiniDV tapes and edit from scratch.

Fast forward to this summer and a miracle... I found that DVD export in a box in my parents' attic. I then ripped the movie to my hard drive, stuck it in Premiere Pro and decided with a little trimming and rearranging, I could have a complete film. 

Also, I applied to the Moby Gratis music licensing program and was approved for two pieces of music to use with this short film. 

On the whole, I am very pleased with this turn of event and how well the film has truned out. Because the DVD was low rez and due to Premiere Pro's inability to get the interlaced fields inthe correct order, video quality is not what it could be. However, the story is what matters, so for the internet, this version is a-okay. Enjoy!

And don't pick up hitchhikers
