Billy McBride rises

The goal was to establish the backstory for the main character, down-and-out lawyer Billy McBride, through a gritty metaphorical dreamstate.

We visualized and directed this mini film with Billy Bob Thorton as Billy McBride underwater and rising slowly through the inferno of what he is leaving behind, rising to the sandy beaches of Santa Monica at night. The titles work to fill in some of the characters past that leads the audience directly into the current story. Creative Director: Ben Conrad | Director: Bill Yukich
