Written and Directed by Justin Beckenheimer and shot on the RED camera by DP Charlie Anderson, The Synopsis – Ryan is a good, but underprivileged kid with a lot of wealthy friends, and all he wants to do is make enough money to get out of Baltimore and go to a good college to study architecture. But he has a secret. The quickest way he sees to achieve this dream, is to earn money by pushing drugs… and he’s almost there. “Heaven Burns” marks Clayton’s first strong lead role in an Independent feature and he couldn’t feel more blessed to have worked with the massive talent that he was surrounded by on both sides of the camera throughout the nineteen day shoot.

The Jacket finished filming in early 2017 and has now begun the editing process. This was a great shoot to have been a part of. Serendipitous in many ways.

There are more photos from production in the "On Set" portion of the Gallery Page, but this is one I took while they were setting up camera. I can't wait to share the final cut with you when it's released.
