888 days x 2 is my MFA thesis film for graduation from American University's School of Communication. A 20-minute personal essay loosely based on the theme "Confession", the film is the result of my desire to grasp and convey the journey I underwent during and after a half-year stay in postwar Bosnia. Through the medium of a visual letter, I respond to the challenge posed by my one-time employer and closest friend in Sarajevo. Shot on S16 and S8 mm film stocks in the Mid-Atlantic, USA, and post-produced at Barrandov Studios in Prague, Czech Republic. Completed 2005 and selected for participation in the 46th Brno 16 International Festival of Short Films and 8th Belo Horizonte International Short Film Festival.
