"Potter's Field" USC Thesis Film


Written and Directed by Brad Crowe

Produced by Cat Youell, Fawaz Al-Matrouk, and Brad Crowe
Produced at the University of Southern California

Potter's Field is a dark comedy about an impoverished teenager named Daryl who learns first-hand about death after his mentally handicapped brother dies in a freak bathroom accident. With no money to cremate or hold a funeral, a numb Daryl decides to dispose of the body himself. In between searching for caskets at Costco, attempting to sell the body to science, and illegally cruising down carpool lanes with his dead brother by his side, Daryl learns one of the toughest lessons in life: how to grieve for the loss of a loved one.

"Control" hits the film festivals!

I am thrilled to announce that my short film "Control" will be playing at the West Hollywood International Film Festival, Hermosa Shorts Film Festival, and the Indiefest USA Internatinal Film Festival in July and August.

As a non-dialogue project filmed in my first year of graduate school at the University of Southern California's School of Cinematic Arts (then known as the School of Cinema-Television), I had no idea that this film would ever have a life outside of class (thanks again to all my classmates for their help). I am thrilled to share this film with all of you and if you cannot make a specific showing, let me know and I will keep you posted on future screening dates.

Thanks so much for all your support!
