Folsom
Folsom is a CSUN Senior Thesis Film that I wrote and directed. The project garnered a budget of almost $40,000 and has a final total runtime of just under 20 minutes.
In Folsom, we journey alongside a young man overcoming his past and growing as an individual in the face of adversity and heartbreak. Music is his crutch, his coping mechanism, and his source of ambition, that is piloting him through the valley of desperation and towards a trophy of success when emerging from it.
Jazz music serves as the foundation of this story, as music serves to communicate messages that words often cannot relay. In this story, music is the vehicle that drives one to empathize with their emotions and understand themselves deeper.
