— PENITENT (2018) —

Written, Directed, Shot, & Edited by Ryan McCue

Synopsis: After listening to a disturbing confession, a priest grapples with his morality and his faith.

This was my first real attempt at making a short film. I was heading into my senior year of high school, and had recently made the decision that I wanted to go to film school. I spent a few weeks learning how to use a camera — in this case a Sony A7SII — and crafted a simple story that I felt I could give a unique visual flair. This film would later help me get into one of the top film programs in the country at Loyola Marymount University.
