Chris Ramsay's short film "The Paradox of Plenty"

From the May 10th YouTube upload by Chris Ramsay:

Hey Folks! This is a short film I made about the pitfalls of collecting things.. Turns out the more objects I end up collecting, the less I actually enjoy them. I made this short film as a sort of exercise in storyboarding. As I'm getting older I find myself more interested in telling stories and less interested in just showing you cool stuff.. this is kind of my way of doing both while fulfilling the creative side. Thanks to Lee, Antoine and Green for their help and thanks for taking the time to watch! Leave a like and give it a share if you enjoyed it!

This was shot on a Canon R5C
