Him is a senior thesis short film released in the summer of 2021.

Him is an ode to old cinema, loss, and the influence that passes on. This film is a celebration of Buster Keaton, his life and legacy that ignited generations of laughter, and the love between him and Eleanor that inspired a lifetime of dedication. Through “Him,” we hope to show how to fall down without getting hurt – the art of resilience. The intent is to expose more people to Buster Keaton’s creative work, and console those suffering from grief and loss of a loved one.

Hello everyone! 

It’s been a minute, hasn’t it?

Quick update: We are busy working to finalize our film in post-production and the end is in sight! We have plans for everyone to see our film at a special screening online in October...but we’ll save that big announcement for later! 

As soon as we wrap up our project, we will jump on putting together and sending out those fundraising rewards! If you’d like the chance to get some original pins, stickers, photos, early access to the film, signed script, digital art, and/or a signed poster...head on over to our gofundme page, the link is in our bio! Your continued support will help us submit our film to festivals, and spread the story of our beloved Buster across the world. 

And finally, let’s hear it for the cast and crew for working so hard since we started this project last year, and a special thank you to all of the supporters who have helped us along the way! We can’t wait to show everyone what we’ve made!

There was no one better suited for each other than Buster and Eleanor Keaton. The two were married despite their age difference, and despite the judge getting confused and trying to marry Buster off to Eleanor’s mother instead - because they were closer in age.

At one of our rehearsals we recreated one of their photos together...

Him - A Short Film (2021)

Him is a short film releasing in the summer of 2021. It is an ode to old cinema, loss, and the influence that passes on. It follows the story of Eliza, a young girl coming to terms with the loss of her neighbourhood friend. Through Eleanor, his wife, she learns far more about his life than she ever imagined. This film is a celebration of Buster Keaton, his life and legacy that ignited generations of laughter, and the love between him and Eleanor that inspired a lifetime of dedication. Plus we have a cute dog to show off.

We are super excited to finally bring this film to life, so stay tuned for some behind the scenes photos from our first weekend of shooting! In the meantime, we could really use your help to reach our fundraising goal, every little bit helps! Treat yourself or a friend to some Keaton shirts, pins, posters, stickers, and more from our gofundme page - link in bio!
