  • Luther Clayton

    Orion and Luther were 16 and 17 years old respectively when they began working on their first short film together. They began by making videos on YouTube, through which they met and both admired how video and film could connect so many people on such a fundamental level. In 2018, inspired by an image of a child hiding in a dark cupboard, and in the wake of the March for Our Lives movement in the USA, Orion wrote the first draft of a film about losing a friend, something he believed anyone can relate to.
