Fate and Mr. McKinley is a low budget HD short that uses modern technology to look back at the classic movies of the silent era. It raises questions about fate, and how what goes around does come around, but balance isn't always restored.

The film tells the tale of an urban battle between an innocent old man and an evil Dr with seemingly nothing better to do.Reminiscent of classic early movies, McKinley lends a modern cruelty to the proceedings. Fate and Mr. McKinley was independently made with the cast and crew giving their time and effort for free.
