The story behind the film

Cera was created as a proof of concept for an expanded feature film version titled North End that I wrote. I’ve been excited to flesh out the look and feel of the world before finally directing the feature, and Cera provided a perfect opportunity to do just that. Cera succeeding as a short film on its own was always a hope but it’s been more important for me that viewers are enticed by the greater story to come. My instagram channel instagram.com/followtherill has been another fun way for me to explore the look and feel of this and other stories I’ve written all happening within the same universe.
