“The idea of being able to combine the 60s decade and space intrigued me incredibly. Not only does the phenomenon of space fascinate me so much, but the Apollo 11 mission as well. Everything about the year of 1969 I just absolutely love: the clothing, the hair, the films, and the music; The Beatles especially. In the Spring of 2019, I spent five months living in Los Angeles with several drafts of the script done already. Every chance I could get I would pitch this idea to people just to see if they found it interesting. I put myself out there so much that I got the opportunity to have a VFX Oscar winner read my script. I remember leaving Los Angeles with my head high and one thing on my mind, and that was making this film a reality. This film was completed as my senior-thesis, but my crew and I wanted to consider this as something much more. I wanted to recruit a crew of individuals that I thought would have the same level of passion as I do, and I think I achieved that goal. It’s amazing what making a film can do in just a little less than a year because I went from not knowing my crew of 6 individuals very well to gaining lifelong friends. In the past year, the concept of Exposure has developed into a feature script and has the potential to be made into something much bigger.”
