The Trunk (short)

2008-08-20T05:59:00.000-07:00

Just in case no one saw it.. Here is the award winning Short film by the TMI Team.

The Trunk (short) from TMI Videos on Vimeo.

What would you do if the man you looked up to and idolized your entire life turned out not to be quite what you thought he was? Would you still follow the path he had put before you, even if it meant taking the life of a trusted friend, or would you go against the life your father had lead and risk it all to save your friend and yourself?

Danny started his day like every other day, making the rounds; collecting money that was owed to his employer, doing the thing his father had taught him his entire life. With his partner Bobby in the passenger seat, still showing him the ropes, Danny soon gets a crash course in the dangerous world his father had failed to tell him about. With Danny's friend now tied up in the back seat and his head full of contradictions and confusion, he must decide what direction his life will now take.

Will he continue on the path that has lead him to this crossroad, walking the thin red line between felonies and misdemeanors, or will he delve head on into the underworld that consumed his father and is now forcing him to make the decision of a lifetime.

A little back ground on this film:

The Director's Statement

The Trunk was a labor of love and dedication for several of us. It represented a challenge, what we could do with our talents in such a short amount of time and with limited budget. Well with three hundred dollars, three crew members, three cast members, and 12hrs of shooting we ended up with “The Trunk”. This story came together so quick, and just flowed like for some reason we were suppose to put this film on tape. The cast was so patient through the cold weather and long day they stuck by us and saw the whole thing through. I couldn't ask for a better bunch of actors. I also have to thank the post production crew, who came in to the project in a time of need. Joe Azzato took some amazing photos, so that we could have some great press content. Aaron Horne has spent night and day working on music and with a picky director to get just the right music, not too “Godfather”,and not too “Casino”. The bottom line is we proved to filmmakers out there that its not the camera you use, its the way you use it. I hope you enjoy the film.

What some other have to say about "The Trunk"

"Maurice Ripke is amazing in The Trunk, the guy IS that character"

TheChrisBrown
Director of "Jesus Rises"
Detroit, Michigan

"It's a refreshing and efficient micro-narrative! I believed the characters were real people and the evocation of atmosphere and edgy, risky confrontation were crisply executed!....(i especially liked the night lighting - always tricky, especially on dv)"

Ben Robinson
Director of "Slashhive"
London, England
