Thao Nguyen - I'm a USF student and I made a comedy some time back
for an electronic class. I'm kind of interested in remaking the movie
to possibly send it out to a few contests. The attention that I have
gained from the project has only been positive, and I'd figure if I
could attract even more interest in the project. This could be a great
chance for anyone involved, to showcase his or her talents and skill.
The comedy (this was a short that I did in two weeks so its not as
refined as I’d liked) is called "21 Anxieties till I kill myself." If
I do actually remake this, I'd like to get actual actors, soundtrack,
and maybe a more refined story, with the same concept.
The movie can be seen on You Tube.
