The Park People (Short)

A Comedy about People, Place, & Protest.

A listless young adult, her tree-hugging crush, and an old couple team up to protest the closing of their favorite park.

Comedy Short | dir. Corey Holl | 2025

The Park People is a proof-of-concept for a feature of the same name, to be filmed in 2026.

It’s an important project that satirizes the current world and emphasizes the important choice of love for our fellow humans.

The short film was filmed over two chaotic days and we really enjoyed bringing that chaos to the screen.

Imagine what we could do with a larger budget…
