With no budget and a limited amount of days to film, Howland became such a journey to make! The cast became close to the story and aided in the creation of the final product. The story was not based on any actual events, however, it was a fictional tale about ghostly apparitions and a girl whose character changes from the beginning to the end of the film – she becomes a strong willed individual. During the filming of Howland, the bulk of us were on the edge of graduating high school, so to create something such as a 26 minute feature was exciting and new! As a writer and director, it’s one of my largest projects that I’ve taken on, and I couldn’t be more happy with the product.
