We are shooting a short film, "I HAVE SOME THOUGHTS," written and directed by Taylor Engel.

Taylor’s visually stunning short, "THE PAVEMENT," was featured on HBO's Project Greenlight. He has worked with filmmakers such as Rian Johnson, Barry Jenkins, and Paul Thomas Anderson, creatively directing and editing their film marketing campaigns.

"I HAVE SOME THOUGHTS" is a character study that explores its protagonist's often humorous obsessive-compulsive thoughts with the gripping tension of a 70s paranoid thriller. The film promises to be both artful and darkly funny, akin to "Limitless" meets "Curb Your Enthusiasm."
It’s a super low-budget, independent film to be submitted to major film festivals.

Please apply if you have experience working as a gaffer before.
