Oh Shit (Based on Current Events) – Full Film and Production Materials
Amber finds it hard to ignore the apocalypse as it starts to hit a little too close to home.
Oh Shit (Based on Current Events) is a short satire film completed in August 2022. A lot of world events seemed to be happening and this was written as a satire about how our younger generation has learned to dissociate in order to cope. Filming was completed in 1 day in June with close work being done with Jon Robinson and Matthew Niemi. Post-production happened throughout July.

Script
Storyboards
These are the storyboards we used to shoot the film. I usually storyboard my films (or at least key scenes) in order to film quickly. I used these instead of my usual shot list for this film to get specific visuals I wanted.
Call Sheet
This is the call sheet used (with personal information redacted). I include this because it might be useful to others trying to make their first short film to see how a day might be broken up. Usually also includes a call time for each actor (and crew) but I've redacted that page.
