Step Count - a dystopian thriller short film | Musicbed Challenge 2023

Created for the Musicbed Challenge 2023.
After the government makes 10,000 steps a day a legal requirement, a new black market finds it place.
This project was filmed with a micro crew and no budget. We relied on the kindness of our cast to donate their time, and local suppliers for props and a venue to shoot in. Principal photography took place on a Monday, with editing taking three evenings of solid work.
