I read The Wig by Brady Udall years ago. It’s a short short story, only about 3/4 of a page, but it knocked me out. So much sadness in so few words. You can really feel it, but you can also really see it.
We decided to make a short film and enter it into the My RODE Reel film competition. It was my first shot at film-making, but it was a lot of fun.
You can watch it here. Let me know what you think. It’s also pretty easy to find the short story online if you look around.

So well done. I love how an old love of reading and writing, combined with a new love of screen-play writing and film making, are coming together to make our lives more creative.

I definitely had help. Two friends of mine, Jason Hall and Scott Carpenter, brought serious skills to the table. Not to mention the actors!

I sure appreciate it. It certainly could be better, but we had a lot of fun making it. It was our first attempt at filmmaking.
