CC senior William Maxfield, along with fellow CC seniors Jordan Kalms and Luke Mones, directed the following short film last semester. According to Maxfield, the film hasn’t been released publicly but has been “getting attention from filmmakers and critics,” and it’s been submitted to some film festivals.
