About: "Adam finds a mysterious roll of film. It's pictures show him committing terrible acts.Are they evidence, or fakes? As he searches for answers, he becomes unsure of the truth."My first go at filmmaking. I very happy with the results. I was fortunate enough to find excellent people to work with.
