Execution
Transcending age and culture, we set the piece in another language and told the story through a tender exchange of a homeless boy and an elderly widower.

Fun
We shot and edited this piece on our cinematographer's birthday, shooting for most of day and editing at the birthday party. Talk about living in the present!
