Temperament

Derek Allison

James, a kindhearted and well to do young man, and Anya, a young woman, working to rebuild her life after overcoming addiction, fall into a promising romantic relationship. Her inability to trust anyone is outweighed by his persistence to love the very things that Anya does not see in herself. Unaware of the remorse that motivates her life, James tries desperately to bring her back from the edge. This was my final project for a narrative film production class at the University of Texas at Austin. Our task was to tell a three-act story with little to no dialogue, within a time specified by the professor.
