Welcome to the official blog for the short film “Burning”!
“Burning” was first conceived back in October of 2014.
Rebecca, a Harvard grad and local filmmaker, was feeling antsy; she hadn’t made a film of her own in a few months, and she was having withdrawals. She liked the freelance work she was doing, shooting and editing commercial-style and educational videos, Kickstarter campaigns, and theater promotions, but she missed working on something she had created from scratch.
So she approached Richard, a long-time friend, designer, and digital artist, who had helped out on her film from that summer, Sustainable Happiness.
She was very excited, but what would they make a film about?
Because it was 2014, they took advantage of Google Drive and started brainstorming. 
All they knew at first was that they wanted it to be a drama that somehow addressed love, loss, and mostly importantly, betrayal. Here’s a glimpse of what that looked like.
Five days later, they had their first draft.
