Sneaker Freak Short Film

Amir George, 21 Chicago born film and video maker: I've shot several music videos and short films. I had to create the film Sneaker Freak as a school project, the idea came from an assignment I did for Rolling Out Magazine on the sneaker culture. I wanted to mock the whole idea of a sneaker phenomenon, I remember one of my friends playing this song by the Cool Kids, a year ago. I heard it, and put my idea of the sneaker culture along with the objectivity of the song. I thought about growing up and how I would hear stories of people being killed over shoes. Its something so simple that you wouldn't expect to happen, but actually does. I chose to use voice overs cause I had to use sound, and I wanted to give the shoes character. I wanted to show the shoes as individuals to create diversity amongst a culture.
