From 2009 LSM graduate Michael Henry, indie filmmaker and founder of Quandary Productions: Please spread the word about crowdfunding for our next feature. ‘TIME AND PLACE’? will be a low-budget epic in which one man has to come to terms with the consequences of his actions, knowing that some day all that surrounds him will cease to exist.
