On a routine day with his friends Four-Eyes and the Bully, the Boy embarks on a journey taking place in a world shaped by his fascination with space and the final frontier.  Reality mixes with fantasy and imagination as the kids play in the backyard. Four-Eyes takes on the world of the western and the Bully imagines himself as a war hero.

As their Babysitter's attention turns towards her Boyfriend, the kids let their imaginations take over. Four Eyes suffers a dramatic death from the Bully's grenade, and the Boy moves swiftly to retaliate. The Boy pulls his ray-gun on the Bully, startling him so much that he falls backward, tumbling from the treehouse to the ground far below.
   
Realizing that the Bully's lack of movement is not their imagination, Four-Eyes takes off into the woods as the Boy sprints for home. 

 

Four-Eyes is eventually found in tears by a Policeman on the case, but the Boy manages to escape to the safety of his home, with other ideas in mind.

 

Tearing away a sheet from an object in his room, the Boy reveals his spaceship to escape the real world consequences that are coming for him.  

But, as reality sets in and the smoke clears, the Boy finds himself sitting in a cardboard rocket-ship as sirens draw closer.

Nicholas, Jordan, Kyle, and Alison collaborated on their largest project, "Kiddo", in the Fall of 2009, and have been developing additional projects ever since.

"Kiddo", written, directed, and edited by Nicholas Santos, shot by Kyle Kelley, and starring Jordan Littlefield and Alison Walter, went on to be an Official Selection of the 2010 Boston International Film Festival and the 2010 Indie Spirit Film Festival in Colorado Springs where it won "Best Student Film".

Sound by Jordan Eusebio

Growing up in a small town in rural Illinois, Jordan moved to Southern California to receive a degree in Film Production with an emphasis in Sound Design from Chapman University.  He now lives in downtown San Jose with his girlfriend and does most of his sound designing in the dead of the night when traffic is the lightest.

Jordan and Nicholas met on a feature film set in Portland in 2010 and, after four days of working together (and several drinks for Jordan’s birthday), Nicholas asked Jordan to sound design his short film “Things I Don’t Remember.” They’ve been making solid gold ever since.

"Things I Don't Remember", written, directed, and edited by Nicholas Santos, shot by Kyle Kelley, produced/starring Alison Walter, and with sound by Jordan Eusebio, went on to be an Official Selection of the 2011 Riverside International Film Festival, the 2011 Boston International Film Festival, and the 2011 Indie Spirit Film Festival.
