A down on her luck, occasionally-famous mystery writer buys a supposedly-magical vintage toy bank that grants wishes. The seller explains it should only be used for small things - but when she dreams big, her life becomes part of her latest mystery novel in this Supernatural Film Noir. With inspiration from The Twilight Zone, Otto Preminger, Stephen King and more, award-winning director and cinematographer Christopher Pinto packs suspense, intrigue, and even a few laughs into this 21-minute original short.

From the Director: For my second short movie I literally did everything myself except play the lead! Wrote, produced, directed, did the sound, lights, sets, cinematography, made lunch, wrote and recorded original music, played the sax and clarinet solos throughout, and did the editing. Whew!
