I’ve always struggled with my body image, especially in college. It impacts how I see myself and more importantly how I think others see me. This is a jaded way of thinking and I wanted to explore it through a film to try and rid myself of it. My friend Beau and I decided to make this film and in one day we were shooting it and on the next day it was complete. It was a great experience that resulted in a weird, experimental, and hopefully impactful film. I’m so happy I have this art form to explore not only the positive and negative things around me, but also all the things within.

TUB was shot in Orlando, Florida in January of 2018 with a crew of just Kyle Bastin and Beau Eckel. It was Bastin Films first collaboration of many with Media Pit.
