A drinking glass reflects on the question Do you believe in God? and shares a personal story about being filled all the way up.

What does it even mean when we ask someone, Do you believe in God? As part of my experiment to make one short film every week, I wanted to answer that meta-question.

Drawing on a deeply personal experience I had as a teenager, I expressed my inability to answer the God question through the perspective of an everyday drinking glass.

Using a macro probe lens, I was able to bring the audience inside the living experience of the protagonist as he undergoes a profound change.

I have always been fascinated by perspective. As a child, I would often press my eye to the floor or the edge of a piece of furniture just to see exactly how the world looked from that spot.

I wanted to attempt surreal practical effects. I created this wormhole sequence using the probe lens, a few small LEDs and a glass vase suspended from some string.

This would lead me to utilize the prob lens for more ambitious practical effects later in my first feature Spin Junkies.
