REWIND

Rewind
A silent B/W short film where "in a crime passion, seeing is believing." Shooting in “point of view,” REWIND tells the story from each character’s perspective. This compelling technique draws the viewer in differently each time and gives the feeling that they are in the character’s shoes making them the killer, victim and eyewitness to the crime. The original score drives the mood, emotion and story of the three characters.
