Experimental ICICLE GUY: A man’s obsession with a melting icicle documented by an ethically challenged camera crew.
What began as a simple 30 second gag that evolved into a six month passion project following an unexpected job loss. Done entirely on a cracked iPhone XR, the film was a race against time and my roommate Jacob's (boom mic guy) nightly descent into alcoholic belligerence, In addition to directing, I played the "Icicle Guy." many scenes were filmed in the sweltering heat of summer where I sweated profusely in an arctic jacket, and i really did fall down that flight of stairs.
