The film takes place in his thoughts after he's released from a mental health facility. We experience with him while they fuels his rage, and ultimately decided his fate.
This short film is the first film written, directed, and filmed by the Downtown Newark Film Club, in 2019. I remember this day because it was the first day I showed up to film with a new group of people who I din't know intimately. Though, I didn't know them I was ready to put the work and lend my creativities towards the fulfilling cause of creating a short film with a team full of people that looked like me. I was happy to give as much as my body was willing to give and, even more of my mind when the time permitted to have new visual thoughts inserted. And I did give my suggestions which were accepted and played into the shooting style for some scenes.
I was the 1st AD and on set of Triggers, my role definitely crossed departmental roles while "rolling" and no one felt the need to make it a conflict...unlike [what I experienced later] on industry movie sets. Because our group was small and independent I was able to fill the shoes of so many positions in one day. I was proud of this experience. It reeled me in for more, more, more.
