This was my Portfolio Short film from my writing course at Vancouver Film School. We had a limit of four pages in which to tell a story and showcase our style as a writer. We also only had three hours in which to shoot the piece, which means our choice of locations and characters was limited.

While I feel I can write in many genres (such as comedy, adventure, and science fiction, for children or adults), given the limitations I went with a short little story about “fucked up teenagers”, my favourite kind of teenager. Here is The John, about two teenage hustlers who accidentally kill a john. It’s NSishFW.

It is directed by Jim Bates and stars Maggie Ma and Matthew McLellan.
