Model Citizen
Past and present collide when a middle-aged gay man’s next door neighbors move out without saying goodbye, forcing him to reexamine parts of himself he had long since tried to forget.
STORYBOARDS
Photo of the two books produced to help bring my original idea for this story to life. Originally titled, “Triggered,” these books became the storyboards for the short film - and a great way to help determine if the story was working before filming began. Storyboards by Doug Allen.
My vision of this film initially seemed far beyond the scope of my abilities, budget, and resources. As an alternative to making the story into a film, I decided to illustrate my ideas as a storybook. Originally titled, “Triggered,” I ended up printing my illustrated “script,” thinking it would be a cool art piece, and that would be the end of it. But when the necessary elements to make the film started to come together organically, I saw that if I followed the book, scene by scene, and in some instances, shot by shot, I could make the film as I had originally envisioned it. The book became a blue-print for making the film and communicating to others what I was trying to achieve.
