Content notes:
Some potentially too-flickery light.
This is one of those stories that as soon as it was pitched I knew it had to be made. The particular brand of offbeat humour — rock puns and all — lends itself to a fascinating, tremendously fun coming-of-age story of personal growth led by a talking rock. What more do you need?
As well as producing this masterpiece, I also had the opportunity to do additional camera primarily in the peformance scene, along with a few forest B-roll details.
Rock & Roll was produced as part of Massey's Bachelor of Screen Arts degree. Second year students each make an individual edit of a group film. This is my edit, which is not the definitive version.
