The Wind Blows East

This is my first effort in directing a film. I had an idea about twenty dollars traveling between three types of people; a Homeless Man, a Hooker and a Thief. All survivors of the streets. I chose these types of people because I find that these types of people will do anything to get money. One will kill, one sells her body for a night, and the other will beg for it unashamedly. It is a hard world for these people and I wanted to show a glimpse of their lives. I don't think we caught enough of it in this short, no-dialogue piece and that's why I plan to turn it into a feature. I had written a feature-length script revolving around the same central idea but I don't have the budget yet to make my vision come true. Everything we did was for free and without permits. It was a wonderful cast and crew and they were as helpful as any director could ask for. This is a more of a symbolic-piece rather than a short narrative film, the run time is 9 minutes.
