Storyline

A New Yorker comes face-to-face with an unwanted guest forcing him to choose...YOU or ME.

We try to fit in, we try to be liked by others, we want to be accepted, and for this to happen we have to adapt. We change our personality based on the people we meet. However, what do we do when we try to impress ourselves when we change our personality in order to impress the man in the mirror? 'You or Me' is the short that tries to answer these questions one way or another. Josh Parker (played by Drew Schrum) has problems in finding his own self, in coping with his own being, in accepting what he is, and most importantly, what he is not. He dreams of being powerful, badass, cool, naughty, but that is only in his mind, and as we know it, our mind plays tricks on us on a regular basis.
