Michael’s story:
Michael (class of 2009) has released a trailer for his new film RESTLESS DUST. “Attempting to pick up the pieces after a car accident, a lonesome film restorer connects with a woman from his building. Struggling to deal with her over-possessive husband, their lives become increasingly entangled; and as her husband’s jealousy builds, so too does the threat of violence.”
