A behind the scenes filmmaking breakdown of how we made our viral short film Will "The Machine". I briefly cover everything from writing, to financing, to production, post, and releasing the film.
Will "The Machine" is the story of an off-kilter high school football star who finally meets his match, starring Chris Fornataro and Denzel Whitaker (Black Panther). We shot it during the winter in Richmond, Virginia.

About me:
I've been making short films for 20 years, starting at age 11. I directed my first feature film, Bad is Bad, in 2010. Made for only $6,000, the film went on to reach over 7 million views and garner critical acclaim. More recently, my short film, Will "The Machine", screened and won awards at film festivals around the world. Released online in 2019, it reached over 1 million views in just a month. I also work as a video editor, cutting ads for clients such as Apple, Netflix, and Beats by Dre.
