Viewing Notes

This is a proof of concept for a larger story that I think they want to make into a tv series. The director briefly discussed how it came together based on his storyboards. This is exquisitely made for a $13K budget. What’s pretty neat is how much is digital when it doesn’t appear so. I also like the idea of the hotel having different mysteries and I suppose in a episodic television show each could be explored.
