DIRECTOR BIOS - Don Hessell & Alan LaFave

Over the past 17 years managing our own film festival in Bay City, Michigan, we've watched thousands of short films that influenced our appreciation for offbeat characters, unique set locations, absurdity, & taking the audience on a journey down a rabbit hole. We feel we've made a film that speaks to the heart of what we love about story-telling in cinema, and combined it with our passion for music.
