Debt Ahead: A Documentary Short

For your consideration, I present my latest documentary, though I can hardly use the word "my." I was an editor and producer on it. The first two minutes are entirely my editing, the last three minutes are a mixture of my work and the work of my two partners on the project, Kate Bowling and Kimberly McCue. My role as a producer on the project was mainly in developing the story and what questions to ask and how to tell his story. The interviewing and camera work were done by Kate Bowling, whose other work you can find here.

Evan was very gracious to do this, and we appreciated him being so open and honest about the topic. We had hoped to get interviews with Evan's family members, but were unfortunately unable to get them into the film. It stands more as a very personal and introspective story about where he feels he's at in his life. Enjoy.
