A college art student takes a job at “Burger Snap” hoping to pay off their tuition, but when aliens invade on their first day, they must use their creativity to save humanity. “Burger Snap: When Aliens Attack” is a sci-fi comedy that proves art school skills can come in handy in unexpected ways.
In a world where art degrees can’t guarantee a job, a college art student takes a gig at “BurgerSnap,” a fast-food joint, hoping to pay off their tuition. But on their first day, when a swarm of aliens descends on the planet, the student must muster all their creativity to save humanity from being served up as the next meal. Will they use their brush strokes to fend off the extraterrestrial threat, or will they be reduced to a mere greasy patty in the cosmic order of things? “Burger Snap” is a quirky sci-fi comedy that proves art school can teach you more than just how to paint pretty pictures.

I came onto this short film project as Cinematographer on the last night of shooting to sub out Jon Kline, who was DP for the rest of shoot. Director Shun Powell was a very creative student who was working on a film for school and this was the result (not sure if all students get to shoot their projects on a Arri Alexa Mini LF with professional DP’s these days- but if so….jeesh, the times are a changing).
My section was shot over the course of a single night inside a trailer park in Wisconsin. I didn’t have a ton of gear provided to me and made it work with what was onset. I color graded some raw clips I was sent for this page, not sure how the final will come out though.
