More About "The Box":
Driving down a dark country road, Niall picks up a strange Hitchhiker who’s cradling an old cardboard box. Niall attempts to spark up some small talk but the Hitchhiker resists; that is until Niall asks what’s in the box? "MIND YOUR OWN F*CKING BUSINESS!"
Director’s Statement:
The idea for "The Box" originally came from a story an uncle told me at a party. He was driving down the road one time when he came across a man hitchhiking. He pulled over but it wasn’t until the man climbed in that my uncle noticed he was clutching an old beat up cardboard box. The man was also acting very strangely and kept muttering under his breath.
My uncle tried to engage in small talk to ease his nerves: "Where are you from?" "Where are you going?" but the man seemed not only disinterested but almost annoyed at the questions. "What’s in the box?" "Mind your own f*cking business!" The man replied. Furious, my uncle pulled over and demanded the man get out. The man was barely out when my uncle sped off. It wasn’t until further up the road that he noticed something: the box was still in the car.
