Brothers and best friends, Andrew and Michael do everything together, until an unfortunate accident forces Andrew to decide whether he can live without his closest companion.
Statement from Director: Ever since I can remember, I’ve been drawn to the art of storytelling, and dreamed of one day becoming a film director. I started with creating short animations on my dad’s old Macintosh computer, progressed to camcorder videos starring my friends and three brothers, then short productions in college before eventually finding my way into a successful career in the visual effects industry. I have since been fortunate enough to work on such films as Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Solo: A Star Wars Story, Jurassic World, Pirates of the Caribbean 5, and more. It’s been an absolute dream come true for a starry-eyed kid from a small town in northern Michigan to work on the kinds of movies that inspired me to pursue film making in the first place. I poured myself into the work: watching, learning, absorbing as much as I could and feeling immense gratitude for those opportunities, but I eventually had to admit something was missing. My career was rewarding, but demanding, and I had put my own projects on the back burner.
Recently, I decided to take a step back to begin writing and developing my own stories again. I have since written multiple screenplays, including the award-winning short script Dive, about a girl who dreams of becoming an astronaut while scuba diving with her mom, blending the mysterious worlds of outer space and the deep sea.
