The Story
We are a Chapman University student film in the process of pre-production. Our goal is to tell a visually compelling and emotionally stirring story involving the themes of love, thrill and destruction.
Rhie and Jake are a couple who came together from troubled pasts and with big hopes for their futures. A thrill seeker with a lust for life, Rhie comes to Jake with a plan to rob a store. Caught in between him his loyalties for Rhie and the knowledge that she is recreating traumatic moments from his past, Jake has to make the decision whether he stands by her or leaves her to stand alone. Our modern take on classic themes, we want to create something that will make audiences feel and think.
