Non-traditional in approach and comprehensive in scope, TRUMPED: A SHORT FILM is an unrivaled making-of book that shows in vivid, stylized detail first-time writer/director Michael Whitton's creative process and meticulous preparation for the myriad of steps required to successfully execute production and post-production of his short film Trumped.

Featuring precise scene-by-scene breakdowns of the visual elements, hundreds of eye-popping pre-production/production photographs and concept art, an in-depth business plan, and an exclusive graphic novel designed from posterized stills of Super 16mm film, TRUMPED: A SHORT FILM is the complete, 419-page book to the cinematic event that's reminiscent of "a modern-day A Clockwork Orange."
