Behind His Eyes

Logline

A young man who struggles to face his vulnerability after being given a challenging school assignment.

Behind the Scenes

Produced as a BFA thesis film in association with Columbia College Chicago, Behind His Eyes was brought to life over a very intense four-day shoot. The project successfully navigated extensive location setups, complex scheduling, and demanding daily turnarounds. Following a successful festival run, the film was nominated for and won the 2024 National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences NATAS Chicago/Midwest National Student Production Award in the Long Form category, presented at the regional Emmy awards ceremony.
