| Storyboard 1 |
Man in a Cardboard Box will be an 8-10 minute short film critiquing the isolation and personal degradation wrought by social media, commercial television, and mass production. It will take place in a set constructed mostly of cardboard. The principal character,
The Man, never leaves his cardboard house. He works filling out book (later, TV) reviews which fall through his ceiling. His refrigerator acts as a two-way portal device: he deposits empty plates, he removes full meals.
Right now, the script is complete, pending casting. It's seven pages, mostly action. The storyboards are also largely complete. I may piece together another one, but I have sufficient material to guide my shoot.

I will soon begin building the set. I've acquired the cardboard for the walls, just need wood to frame the flats and more duck tape to piece the furniture together. I've posted an ad to Craigslist about casting, and I've got some responses. I'll be having auditions over the weekend.
I will be teaming up with a long time friend and music collaborator, Adam Kime, to craft the score for the piece, which will be built around modified loops. Distorted ambient sound will compete with music to tell the story as well.
