“The Mystery of Mr. Most” | A Short Horror-Comedy Mockumentary

For the second year in a row, I made a submission to the annual “253 Film Competition” put on by The Grand Cinema in Tacoma… but this time, I collaborated with my brother, Kyle! Like much of my favorite media, it’s funny, spooky, set in Washington State, and riffs on social media celebrities. Hope you enjoy!

As usual, entrants had 72 hours to make a film no longer than 253 seconds, containing four common elements not revealed until the metaphorical starting pistol went off — this time around, that was:

1) An election or vote
2) The phrase “break a leg”
3) Something you can’t see
4) A flag

My First Short Film: “INCOHERENT HEIGHTS”

This year, I made my first submission to the Tacoma Grand Cinema’s annual “253 Short Film Competition,” which entails entrants having three days to make a film no longer than 253 seconds and containing four common elements not revealed until those 72 hours commence! This time, the necessary pieces were:

1) A competition
2) The phrase “it’s time to roll”
3) Artificial intelligence
4) A tattoo

With that prompt in tow, I whipped up this cautionary tale of landlord-tenant law gone amuck in an automated near-future. While it didn’t take home any trophies, it was eligible for an audience-favorite award and did get a few noms! The true award, though, was what I got no matter what: a chance to truly say I had a movie screened at a theater. I had a ton of fun with it, and I look forward to doing similar projects in the future!
