This film was meant to be one plot line in a longer film about young people in desperate transitional moments – haunted by the past, unable to face the present, and terrified by the future. Though this film was all that could be shot before covid shut down our present, I'm thrilled to represent this piece as a testament to what people will do to repair the past and preserve a better future.

Dunk is a story about a young man struggling to pay his debts while maintaining his fragile mental health. This story was largely inspired by the struggles that myself and many around me went through during the first two years of the pandemic, as the circumstances of the virus only escalated the financial and mental health issues that many of our generation face.
