Change - Student film - Expression College for the digital arts

Change was a group collaboration from my class at Expression College for the Digital Arts in emeryville California. This film turned out to be entirely differnt than what our team of 6 had planned originally. Who would have thought that 6 horney funny guys who cracked jokes for the entire 500 hours of production would come up with such a heart warming flick that could be viewed in churches or by families... So without further a due i present you viewers with my first "serious" film. Special thanks to xpc team member Marissa Gomez for her "bitchy" performance in the laundry mat. :)
