Watch “The Hovel” written and directed by Concord filmmaker Travis Laughli. It premieres on Concord TV's Channel 22 on Jan. 23 at 7 p.m.
About the short film: After losing all of his money, Samuel is forced to steal food from a local marketplace. When he is caught, he flees from a furious vendor and runs into a series of increasingly dangerous obstacles. He passes through a picnic of three seductive women, into the study of a rich old man and crosses the path of Felix – a smalltime gangster. Each encounter takes Samuel farther from home and threatens to pull him off course. But despite the dangers he faces, Samuel does not forget his purpose.
Laughlin shot “The Hovel” in Chicago and used Concord TV equipment and facilities for post-production.
