If you've seen "Cataclysmo"—one of the web series I produce—you're familiar with Brian Walton and Chris Hartwell's talents in front of the camera playing the time-travelling heroes Johnny Zanzibar and Bucky Stallion. But their latest collaboration puts them behind-the-scenes, with Brian writing and Chris directing a brand-new short film, "Trunk: A Love Story," which is airing as a mini-serial on WebSerials.com this month.

Brian's script cleverly weaves romance, action, and a little intrigue into a smartly crafted story about two bickering assassins who maybe, possibly, might have some romantic feelings for each other. It's a little reminiscent of the recent "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" but Brian manages to keep the plot fresh and the witty dialogue has its own distinct flair.

Chris brings a visual polish to the film that evokes a high-budget Hollywood production, but his real strength is mixing the well-executed comedy and action bits with genuine moments of character throughout the short fifteen-minute runtime.

And fans of "Cataclysmo" will also recognize Trunk's lead actor, the extremely talented and funny Jesse GrothOlson. Jesse is one of the best actors I've ever had the pleasure of working with and it's great to see him in this role—an impressive departure from the zany antics he brought to Cataclysmo's Dr. Crankshaft.

Lastly, I must mention the talented production team at Biola University that brought "Trunk" to life. Produced through Biola's series of film production classes, "Trunk" is the latest example of the fine student work coming out of the university's Cinema & Media Arts department.

I'm excited to be able to screen "Trunk" on WebSerials.com and would invite you to check out the first of three episodes right here...

The remaining two episodes will be released over the next two weeks—visit WebSerials.com to see them.
