NYU Undergraduate Film/TV Thesis Short Film
Logline: A young songstress turns in her lover, the thief in town, to the police, the night before she departs for the city.
A neo-noir with an original jazz number. A fictional suburban town where everything closes at 9pm, people all gather at George’s smoky jazz pub for entertainment. It’s a story about the price of fulfilling the protagonist Larissa's ambition, and the reflection on if her blind pursuit is worthwhile.
