Overview

Inspired by a true story from my high school, DUI was conceived as an emotionally driven short film exploring the lasting impact of impaired driving on a family. The story follows a father struggling with alcoholism after his son a promising football player is severely injured by a drunk driver. Through flashbacks, football sequences, and environmental storytelling, the film explores guilt, regret, and the devastating consequences of one decision. Although production remained unfinished, the project became my first large-scale story-driven Unreal Engine production and significantly expanded my understanding of cinematic storytelling, motion capture, environment creation, and procedural world building.
