Todd Got Clobbered is a feature film that I directed and edited with the film studio I cofounded, Body in the Window Seat. It is cowritten with the star, Burke De Boer.
The film tells the story of Todd, a college student who wakes up with a concussion after being mugged the night before. In a farcical quest for revenge, he makes a list of every person he’s wronged to find out who beat him up. His misadventures lead him down some unexpected rabbit holes.
This film was shot while I and every member of the cast and crew were in college, splitting our time between this movie and our classes. It was filmed on the campus of Western Oregon University and features the red brick campus buildings prominently in its imagery. This was my directorial debut and remains the biggest project I’ve ever taken on; it was a tremendous learning experience.
