I shot this 16mm film as a sophomore at Brigham Young University. Starred Aaron Eckhart in, what is surely his first role EVER on film. I had a great time working with Aaron Eckhart. He was willing to try anything. He called my directing style "the Lon chaney School of acting." Very funny, really. Aaron actually came up with the idea of clubbing the "hanging man" and prodding him with a stick. Nice stuff. Also starring my sister Alisha Mellen. THE BASIC CONVOLUTED PLOT: I asked myself: "What if, after the official resurrection, a guy still wished he was dead. If he committed suicide in LIFE, wouldn't he hand himself again in death... for eternity?
