Production note from Rob: I had previously PA’d on one Greg’s earlier short films and we later hit it off at a party (go-go-gadget networking!). He knew that I wrote and pitched a premise that he and a friend had cooked up — something about overlapping crimes colliding at a family restaurant in the wake of a… well, you’ll see — and I ran with it. We Kickstarted and a few months later were shooting. Greg and I met after every draft, eventually going through about 10 of them before cameras starting rolling.

Here is the movie:

Congratulations, Rob, to you and your team. Something to show when you nail your Quest script and we take it out to people.

Note: In a month or two, I’ll be doing another in the annual Movies You Made series. If you have a short film or feature length film you’ve been involved in and would like that featured here on the blog, email me your information.
