Programmer's Notes

What drives a man to accomplish small deeds? What is the fuel to his fire, the impetus that pushes him forward?
Hubbards stars Kevin Ralston as a man on a single-minded quest to find his brother or recover his bones. Unshakeable in his goals, the man shares the progress of his search over the span of four tonally varied episodes, providing a glimpse into the mind of a singularly driven protagonist, and the motivations that keep him going.
Also written and directed by Ralston, Hubbards plays at once like a narrative and a dream. The core idea is simple, but the backstory, characterization, and presentation are never content with easy answers. Though it’s a comedy short, Hubbards contains a deep core, absurd but also revelatory of a deeper, inner truth not as immediately apparent. What drives a man? How does the past inform our current search? How does the present inform our past desires?
