20th Century Faux
20th Century Faux is a series of sixteen comedy short films co-created with director Jake Bradbury. Each film was conceived and shot in a single day.
Born out of the creative restlessness that comes with working long hours in the industry and never quite having time to make your own thing, this project was a deliberate bet on spontaneity over preparation. Whatever crew was available, whatever resources were on hand, that was the movie.
