"Whatever you do son... don't go to the Carnival"




I wrote a short story about a kid living in a dust bowl country town back around 1910 who goes to the traveling show that comes to town.  He sees things that change him and at the end he realizes that he loses a big part of his childhood innocence that night and comes to regret it.

So I storyboarded it out.  I had to go without any elaborate camera movement so I could lay them out nine to a page like this.

I think it's a really touching tale about those moments that move us forward in to adulthood, whether we want to or not.  Such is life.
