Since the world basically shut down, we took the class online and attempted to regain some semblance of a normal life. That was a pipe dream. Fear and uncertainty griped us all, and it was a time to really take perspective of things. Looking to find a way to help out, even if in a small way, my wife, incredibly skillful with the sewing machine, began to make masks for us, all our family members, and close friends. This inspired me to make a short film for my class and thus, the the origins of The Hero. The story of man trying to make a difference in the world through one small gesture. With 2025 being the 5th year anniversary of the COVID lock down, I figured it was the perfect time to bring out this little film I made during that tumultuous period.
