A man decides Toilet Paper is the answer.

The answer to what? Everything.

Director's Message

“Toilet Paper started as a text from my brother Keith (the main actor) that said “what if a guy decided to better his life because he couldn’t afford the good toilet paper?” And I like liked this concept, so I wrote out a script that drifted just a little bit from that original intention, but still maintained the absurd premise. This is my second proper live-action short film. These shorts are a way I can expand my creative palette, and not have to answer to a client. In this one, my brother and I also recorded the music, I did the foley and sound design, and our talented friend and frequent collaborator John Anderson Beavers was the DP.”
