Director: Brad Stabio

Here’s a brief explanation of the film from Brad:

Brad: Unfurnished is interesting because we as filmmakers were looking for a way to make a film to showcase our skills and also fit it into the framework of the 48 Hour Film Project 2011 in Denver. We feel our efforts paid off in all aspects of the film and resulted in the film winning Best Film, Best Acting, and Best Special Effects at the Denver 48 Hour Film Project 2011. As a director, it has been amazing to see our team take a film all the way to a screening at the Cannes Film Festival last year and already see positive results from Unfurnished as well.
