Hill Boy
Writer & Director, Short Film
When a pessimistic recluse meets a carefree spirit at group therapy, he realizes that healing can look ridiculous after he learns of an unconventional (and slightly chaotic) way of letting his emotions loose.
Hill Boy is currently going through a festival run.
Hill Boy has received an Official Selection from the NFFTY Film Festival, Chelsea Film Festival, Maryland Film Festival, Washington D.C. International Film Festival, Beverly Hills Film Festival, Film Invasion L.A., Portland Film Festival, and Shameless Plug Film Festival. It was awarded the Filmmakers Award for Outstanding Short Film - Drama at Film Invasion L.A., and an Honorable Mention for MetroShorts at the Washington D.C. International Film Festival.
