A recently released criminal is looking for a good time. He can forget his sins but he can never forget...Gwilliam.
Embedded Files
It started as a crude drawing done by my brother Kevin in 2010 and a crude idea of a man having an intimate encounter with a goblin. Then it was crowd sourced on IndieGoGo after screening CROW HAND at SXSW. We reached our goal and filmed that summer on better cameras and a bigger crew. The end result was my most successful short film to date. Screening at over 70 film festivals including SXSW and Slamdance where we were award a Special Jury Mention. This is what you wanted...
