Production notes
Christopher Cordingley created "After You" for his thesis at the Ringling School of Art and Design.
Cordingley said he knew that he wanted his film to feature an interaction between two characters, and that he wanted their personalities to contrast and conflict.
"And I needed one character to think he's more important than the other," he said. "I liked the idea of conveying emotions through subtleties in posture and facial expressions."
Cordingley says that he got ideas for his film from Keith Johnstone's book "Impro: Improvisation and the Theatre."
