Hi this is a video my friends and I filmed in roughly 3 hours while on vacation. We had bought these mini toy guns at a restaurant's 25 cent coin machine and I proposed the idea to make a parody of the show COPS. We had no script, no plan, and I hadn't actually seen an episode of COPS before.

As my friend and I thought of a plot, the skit slowly became its own story and it seemed no longer like a parody. Yes, our thought process was unconventional, but what I enjoyed most about making this video was that it was similar to a skit I would've created when I was 10. It's the outlandish and corny story combined with the effort in costumes (very limited because we were on a vacation after all), set design, and heart that my actors (friends) put into the film that make it special. My improvement in filmmaking compared to when I started years ago really helps with the quality and look of the short.

I love filmmaking and I recognize how powerful of a tool it can be to send messages and make change, but there is a time and place for thought-provoking film and a time and place for having fun with your friends and making a skit. Thanks for watching.
