“life of a ca-shu Driver”
A mockumentary style student short film, written and directed by Andrea Fernandez Henao
about the project
The short follows a student shuttle driver on their daily work routine. Satirizing New York City student life, the short is an appreciation of student workers while also poking fun at obsessive work culture.
The film was shot over the course of a few days, employing guerrilla filmmaking techniques. The interior/exterior van scenes were shot over the course of 1.5 hours with a one-person crew. Prioritizing a realistic yet comedic portrayal, the short relied on dialogue, performance and hand-held shots to realize the story.
