SHORT FILM
”TELLER NUMBER FOUR”

This was my first narrative short, and it basically combines all my favourite things: outsider/loser characters who finally go “to hell with it,” idiots making big decisions with total conviction, and an unlikely love story hiding in there somewhere.

It’s narrated by Seth Rogen, and we made it with a cast and crew of friends (and friends of friends) who just wanted to make something fun — completely underfunded, aka funded entirely by my family savings account — over three ridiculously fun days. And somehow it ended up having a weirdly great festival run.

Written and Directed by Peter Novosel
