Director Statement:
"A Short History" is a very personal work for me. While its fictional plot certainly deviates from my own childhood, many characters are composite sketches of real people that have influenced me throughout my life. The violence in the film is detached, and its being offscreen is particularly significant for the world I was attempting to portray.

VIDEO SYNOPSYS
Roger reflects on his childhood and muses how it may have changed the course of his life. He recounts his history into a tape recorder. As he does so he continues down a road of increasing violence, staggering toward a bitter end. The people he meets along the way include taciturn accomplices, victims, and a lone bright spot. As his road of inevitability narrows, Roger struggles to come to terms with his past, and possibly hold onto the thin thread of a future. |
