At Rhode Island College my freshman year I was part of the 'Artists and Society' group where I'm placed with other art majors (mostly theater) and we have the same gen-ed's together.

One day we all studied together for western history and I thought the situation would be a pretty nifty concept for a short film. I wanted to film with no tripod -- I wanted the audience to be just thrown right into the college kid's lives with no safe point whatsoever; hence the reason for no real plot.

The music is by Brian Joyce, which were recordings of demos he gave me a few weeks prior to editing. I wanted a 'rock score' so I used his music as if the group were listening to it from someone's room. I gave the cast the scripts a week ahead; they came to my suite all prepared and ready, and got the movie filmed in 4 hours. A couple weeks later of fixing and editing, you get It Could Be Worse.
