“Do It” is a 15 minute short film and theatrical directorial debut of Steve Petersen, CEO and Creative Director of Big Machine Design, LLC. Shot entirely along the landscape of Los Angeles, this multi-dimensional story follows the life of Bernie, a pharmacy clerk who is tormented by his demons and angels to the extent of disorientation. Compassionate and aware, Bernie struggles with the various facades of our society and the impact of those catch-22’s upon the human psyche. Packed with amazing cinematography and graphics from an award-winning motion design studio, Do It is filled with beautifully complex characters all passing through each others lives, seemingly unnoticed. The impact of every human being is monumental and sometimes all it takes is to realize our own potential, stop the talking, stop the walking, and just… Do It.
