The picnic | Michael Guthire

The Picnic is my first film. I wrote the script, directed, and played the main character Ralph. The ultimate aim was to produce a short which has the feel of an early Sennett/Keystone. I don't know if I succeeded per se, but the attempt was enjoyable! This was honestly the easiest and most fun set I've ever been on and I can't say enough about the cast/crew I had the privilege of working with!
