About “Ever Since August”
Senior year was a lot. Classes, Capstone, working, and creating such a beautiful piece with a crew that was all doing the same. Following up after Dragonfly Boy, which I made almost a year ago, it’s been a wild ride. This film was originally beginning as my capstone, but hit a strong lull that set it back almost four months. This was a blessing in disguise as I was able to rework the script and make sure it was strong for production. Although we battled with limited budget resources yet again, I still feel strong about the film I present. Having Griffin along for an original score also brought so much life to the film, I am very grateful.
