Cool Short: Up Route

Paul DeNigris got in touch to share this cool little short film that was made by a couple of his film students. It was made in just 48 hours, and won Best Student Film at Bruce Campbell’s Horror Film Festival last year

Winner of Arizona’s Intercollegiate 48 Hour Film Challenge 2015. UP ROUTE was written, shot and edited in two days. Our team was given the horror genre, the line “Did you see that trailer?” and a potted plant as the prop.

Combined we created an unnerving tale about a hitchhiker who is picked up by a strange man and his (even stranger) potted plant.

The short stars Jay Antobenedetto & Brandon Scott. It was directed by Jordan Wippell and written by Brandon Scott & Brett Chapman.
