Magic Hour

Magic Hour takes place in modern day Hollywood on the street level and follows Max, a once-famous magician as he struggles to make ends meet and survive. We follow the elder entertainer as he has a brush with death and a chance encounter with a beautiful visitor that will change their lives forever. The movie was made almost like a documentary with elements of structured improvisation, one take scenes, and real locations. I wore a lot of hats on this project and acted as the DP, sound man, director, and editor. We had no crew, a budget which came to under $2,000, and it was created using an outline instead of a traditional script to enhance the feeling of realism.
