Penn Grad Makes An Indie Movie

Every once in a while there comes along something that allows us to believe that our classes are actually relevant (sorry I'm not pre-med Dad). Cue Jason Merrin, a 2013 grad who turned an award winning screenplay from class into an almost movie we actually want to see.

Collaborating with other Penn students, recent grads, and professors (see tags), Merrin filmed Sleepwalkers, a feature length movie about a world that comes to life when we're asleep. It's filled with love, intrigue, and the rapid growth of under-eye circles.

But like any good post grad with loans and a fully filmed movie, Merrin needs some money. Check out his Kickstarter page to help fund post-production and make Penn proud.
