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 write and direct a project I hold so close to my heart. The core of the film revolves around Hunter’s loving and adventurous spirit, one that embraces life so deeply that it is unavoidably contagious.
The feature-length adaptation of Where the Heart Lies is currently in development.
