How Frankie Ended the World... Starting with Me is a short film I wrote and made in approximately one hour. It's a two and a half minute journey through the week of a paranoid schizophrenic who believes that a porcelain statue named Frankie will end the world in one week, starting with her.

This is not a "get what you see" movie. It's more of a "see what you get" kind of thing, if you get my drift. Watch it a few times and see if you can figure it out. Those who oppose "thinking" films would hate it... it's NOT mindless!

Trivia from the Movie (Spoilers for those who haven't seen it!)

The whole film is shot through the eyes of the main character, who is thinking what you are hearing - this is why the talking is echoed.

The violin playing you hear over the top resembles her hobby. When we hear her talking about doing what she wants during the last days, we see her staring down at her violin.

Before we discover the world has ended, we see the camera staring at Frankie's pick axe, not moving. This is because she chose not to anything else during her last days, but the violin keeps playing.

She says Frankie ended the world, starting with her. Why? Because she is schizophrenic and Frankie is all in her mind. Therefore, she was the one to end the world.
