CARGO – Tearing Up 2013

Some friends and I are a part of a filmmaking collective called Dreaming Tree Productions, and our first venture together was a short film called Cargo.  The short film was made for 2013’s Tropfest Short Film Festival, but since screening there, it has gone on to do big things.

After being released online, the film has already racked up over 3.5 million views on YouTube alone, and counting.  It has received fantastic feedback from the likes of Short Of The Week, CNet.com.au, cracked.com, as well as being picked up by buzzfeed.com and other premier websites.

Cargo has also gone on to be accepted into and screened at several more festivals, such as:

• Northside Festival, Brooklyn
• Las Vegas Film Festival
• Seoul Extreme-Short Image and Film Festival
• Sapporo Short Film Festival
• LA Shorts Fest – (Academy Award Accredited)
