The Grade

This short was originally written as a one scene dramatic piece for actress Shannon Teem, who became a friend of mine as I worked with her on 3 other films. However, once started I thought why not just book end the scene and make it into a more complete story and thus a finished short film was born. Being a working actress in the Portland area market I was able to bring in some local talent whom I worked with before. I enjoy wearing the many hats it takes to make a finished little project. I wrote, produced, directed, edited, sound edited and composed and performed the original music score for the film aside from one "radio song" in the background of a shopping scene. Thank you for watching, Hollie Olson
