Proof of Concept

3 filmsProgrammed by Wren Castellano

Three short films made to prove that something bigger is possible. Most proofs of concept are a trailer for a film that does not exist. These are not. Each one is complete on its own terms, and each one leaves you certain there is more. Nine minutes, seven minutes, eight minutes. Then go and find the filmmaker.
