Escalation
Behind-The-Scenes
We wanted to go above and beyond with this film, pushing the boundaries of what is achieveable with micro-budget filmmaking. We set out to create a Black Mirror inspired short, focused on the use of technology, how that may be integrated into policing, and police brutality. Our team worked tirelessly to make sure this film was made, and with a cast and crew of over 30 people, we had a friendly on-set environment that helped everyone feel welcome and a part of the team.
