Looking back on a few projects this year, wanted to highlight some of the other filmmakers I’ve been lucky enough to work with outside of official Laughing with the Storm projects. Here’s a peek behind the scenes at the production of Operation: Wet Paint, directed by Thomas and Curtis Nishimoto, produced by Jack Strayton.
OPERATION: WET PAINT is a comedy short about a group of kids who decide to hatch a complex, heist-style plan to get revenge on the bullies that have been tormenting them.
