CARRIERS
An Improvised Short Film by Jessica Brown
"A City Rebel, dares to take a train ride, at the height of a worldwide lockdown."
For "Carriers," all footage was captured during the Covid pandemic, at the Metro Station, on Hollywood Blvd. At the time, travel was discouraged. Normally, the stations are filled with tourists, residents, and people that reside on the street. At this point of time, absolutely NO one, was around. Knowing that I would never experience something like this again, I felt compelled to record as much of the world, the train, as possible.
Bonus: Please feel free to check out a companion short, "Party Foul," that could easily tie into this, however, it was shot at the start of my film making journey, in 2013.
