“CLARK KENT” a short film

In anticipation of the upcoming Man Of Steel, here is a short film I made using only the “Clark Kent” scenes from Richard Donner’s Superman: The Movie (1978).

I removed any overt references to Clark being Superman, and I changed the musical score.

You COULD still view it as if he’s really Superman, or you could find your own meaning. I personally believe that something much more sinister is going on.

I hope you enjoy it.

THIS IS THE BEST. If you take Superman out of the movie Superman, what you are left with is a man who was unfairly abused by his peers in high school and then tortured and mocked by everyone around him as an adult as he himself makes less and less sense! 

Stay for the end of this. INTERPRETATIONS WELCOME.

Welp, now I’m upset forever.

First Lady.

I’m a filmmaker and an Eagle Scout. This is my message to the Boy Scouts in regards the ban on homosexual members.

Todd Bieber has something to say and you should listen. The Filmmaking merit badge kind of looks like the UCB logo no?

Todd Bieber has made something really special and I’m so honored to be a part of it. Watch.
