The girl is going away for the weekend. The boy has big plans. Shot in two days, "While You Were Gone," is a (really) short film about what happens when a weekender goes wrong enough. Starring Matt Bates, Jamie Cartlidge, Ryan Beatty, Nick Fazzolari, and Chris Smith. Written by Matt Bates.
This is one year old today. The point of this was to make a short less than 3 minutes and still tell a story. We did that.
Enjoy!

The Keys to the World (2014) is the twenty-fourth spy film in the James Bond series, and the first to star Matt Bates as the fictional MI6 officer James Bond. The film was directed by Chris Smith and the story was conceived and written by Tobias Stukm and Artemister Crent, with later collaboration by other writers.
Over the next few weeks I will be posting some of the short films I have been lucky enough to work on. Making these were some of the best times of my life. It blows my mind how lucky I am that I work with so many talented people who let me call them my friends.
This was filmed shortly after I moved to Los Angeles. My buddy Chris called me to tell me he was in Las Vegas and had an idea. One bus fare, a few cocktails, lost footage, a red sports car and a totaled Ford Explorer later...and we had this.
Enjoy!
