PROJECT INFO
At a young age, respectful hunters learn to disturb as little as possible; respectful hunters learn to take only what’s needed. But what’s the price when you break those rules? What might hunt you in return?
Gordie and Chris created The Souvenir as part of the Frightening48 Filmmaking Challenge presented by PRIMAA. Allowed only 48 hours to conceive the idea, write, shoot, edit, and deliver a short film, they were given three elements that must be in the film: a character “an argumentative hunter,” a prop “a hammer,” and a line of dialogue “… is my ace in the hole.”
The Souvenir won Judge’s Choice and Audience Choice for the Frigtening48 and went on to win Best Peace Region Film at the 2015 Reel Shorts Film Festival.
