“In This Place”, UT Graduate Thesis Film
Super 16mm & 35mm Short
Shooting Dates: Dec 5-14, 2008
“In This Place” is a story about the effects of globalization on the
individual and family life.

Jane moves back home to help discover herself as an artist, only to be
left alone as each of her family members announces their departure. With
each of them retreated to different corners of the globe, Jane uses her
imagination to escape the loneliness and isolation she feels and in so
doing discovers what she ultimately wants: a stronger connection with
her family.

style, and decides to do something about it. Will require shooting 4-5
days in Austin. Can work with actors’ schedules.
