Director Statement

I’m Not Nice is the second short film from when Tom Capps and Phillip Russell met Janelle Tedesco and Shannon Morrall at a film festival in 2018. The two pairs each had their own films screening and decided to join forces for their first project – I’m Not Lost, where Janelle’s character Carol first appeared in a supporting role. After Janelle’s fabulous performance as the mysterious stranger in that film, Shannon was inspired to write a short that put that character in the limelight. The team had a blast filming I’m Not Nice and continue to work together to this day.
