Poached tells the story of how one man savors the bliss of matrimony. It’s a dark comedy about what goes on behind seemingly normal closed doors.

Poached was my first project at UCLA with the limitations that it had to be shot in 4 hours with only one 400 foot role of 16mm film.

Most of the dialog was improvised which was an additional challenge.
