The Briefcase is a dramatic short silent film. It is subtitled throughout and features NAT sound and an original musical score.

The film begins with a car speeding down an open country road. We are introduced to our two main characters, Bridget and Casey. Both girls are young, sexy, and trashy. Throughout the film, we follow these two girls as they struggle to deal with each other and others. They meet a man, Jim, in a truck stop diner who offers to give them a ride, which introduces them to the main object of the film, a mysterious briefcase. This is a story of greed, lust, and revenge. This is “The Briefcase”.

Made in the Spring of 2009.
