THAT’S A WRAP ON “WHERE THE HEART LIES,” A SHORT FILM I WROTE AND DIRECTED ABOUT MY FRIEND WHO WAS LOST AT SEA.
This 15 minute short film tells the story of Hunter Lewis, a young man who spent two years creating a treasure hunt before disappearing in the midst of it.
We worked closely with Hunter’s father, Corey, throughout the creative process and even filmed at Hunter’s real childhood home.
It was an incredible experience to direct such a personal project that I had been writing for almost two years, especially one that I hold so close to my heart. The heart of the film revolves around Hunter’s loving and adventurous spirit, one that embraces life so deeply that it is unavoidably contagious.
We wrapped production at the end of March, 2024 and are now submitting to film festivals, with a goal of making a feature. Follow our journey on Facebook and Instagram.
