Argo is a 2006 short romance drama film that marks Jordan Bayne's short film writing and directorial debut.[1] Co-written and co-directed by Bayne and Michael Knowles, the film was shot on location in Joshua Tree, California,[2] [3] [4] in 2005.[5]

Synopsis

According to the production company's official synopsis, Argo tells the story of two individuals living outside society in the American desert. It explores the struggles of being human in a world that seemed bent on crushing the human spirit. Becca (played by Jordana Spiro) is a dispossessed soul whose chance encounter with Cal (played by Marcus Chait) becomes a collision course that changes their lives. The film shows that loneliness and desperation can create an unconscious longing for human connection and that hope can be found in the most unexpected places.[1] [2] [4]
