A handful of short films have gone a long way toward introducing Anis Maknojia to the intricacies of the entertainment industry

 "It’s been one of those things where you keep coming back to it but other things get in the way and steal your focus,” Maknojia said. “Getting out of my routine in Los Angeles and returning to a place I was familiar with shook up my routine enough to really let me focus in on this idea.”

In the short, Maknojia’s Bruce heads a quickly growing tech company preparing to launch their IPO. Presented as a day-in-the-life exploration, he is definitely in charge at the morning meeting with the firm’s partners and legal representation. At lunch, he appears unfazed as his relationship with his fiancé takes a sharp turn. When a new opportunity presents itself, his predatory instincts once again lead the way.
