The Broken Table: A Psychological Thriller

A short film drama about a man whose mundane act of fixing a damaged piece of furniture at home isn’t what it seems.

AND THAT'S A WRAP!

Much thanks to the 31 festivals that made The Broken Table an Official Selection and Award Winner. This wouldn't have been possible without the wonderful cast and crew members who made this project happen!

Randomly comparing my 2020 short film THE BROKEN TABLE to OBSESSION:

- Adam, like Bear, didn't have the courage to ask out his dream girl till it was too late

- Adam's roommate, like Ian, secretly went out with Adam's dream girl

- Adam, like Bear, is NOT the protagonist 😈

@Chopper_Rebel Nope. Didn't get one for Rogue One or Solo... Won't get one for that movie either.

So I saw #Anora today and found out that Sean Baker directed, wrote, produced AND EDITED his #Oscar-winning movie...

Thanks for letting me know that it's a random, BULLSHIT RULE to have SOMEONE ELSE put together your own film. 🙂

RIP, Bob. Not only did I have the pleasure of supporting his exciting web series THE SANDRA WEST DIARIES a few years back, he supported my film THE BROKEN TABLE via Kickstarter in 2019 as well.

My condolences to his family.

#Longlegs is a trippy flick. I love it!

The kind of sinister and twisted story that inspired me to write scripts for films like #TheBrokenTable... 👹😆

So #ThanksgivingMovie is exactly the kind of horror flick I'd expect from Eli Roth... I liked it.

It inspires me to write another twisted story like #BrokenTableFilm (but gorier)! 💀😆

Felt like donning my director's cap for #TheBrokenTable at @DolbyTheatre tonight! Just because. 🙂

It's fun editing on #Lightworks!

Sadly, it's not another narrative short film like #TheBrokenTable that I'm working on. 😁

Comparison shots between the 2002 student film (which was shot 20 years ago today) and the 2020 version of #TheBrokenTable!

Random Trivia: The same screwdriver was used in both films. 🪛

#OTD in 2002, I shot the student film version of #TheBrokenTable at my classmate's house in Orange County!
