My neighbor has these little outbursts sometimes, and someone finally got it on tape.

A young lad struggles to walk across the screen...

"Forced out of retirement by the mob, Sam Westman must return to the world of underground bocce ball one last time..." Originally released in June of 2010, "BOCCE" was my senior film at Occidental College. We shot it on the Panasonic HMC-150 with a P+S Technik Mini35 adapter and RED zoom lenses. Super special thanks to the project's DP, Julien Lasseur, and producer, Alex Zeldin, who were megatroopers throughout the entire bloody process.
