For Granted

Film (short)
by Brad Rego (Drama)
Cinematographer, Director, Editor For Granted is a story about a man not being able to pick up the pieces...it's a very objective film where viewers will be able to put themselves in the shoes of each character and ask themselves "would I have done the same thing?". There's some pain, some emotional honesty, and above all, self-realization. This movie isn't a love story where everybody wins. Sometimes in love, you have to accept defeat. Sometimes you have to know that your strongest opponent is you. Written by G. Walkinshaw
