Peeping Tom
 Category:
Narrative Short 11min 47 sec
Director: Jason Todd Ipson
Just teetering
south of puberty, young Thomas Harris has discovered that
instead of looking at stars, he can use his new telescope to
study the beautiful woman next door. While
"studying", he is busted by his mother and begs her
not to tell his dad. At dinner, his father asks him about his
new telescope. Thomas narrowly escapes when his brother
Sean finds a wishbone, and suggests that they make a wish.
Reaching to break the wishbone, Thomas thinks of his ultimate
dream - to see the sexy neighbor naked. Thomas' wish comes true
and he stays up all night watching her. He pays the price
for his sleepless night, however, the next morning when his
father awakens him into a whole NUDE WORLD. To confirm his
worst fears, Thomas sprints outside and discovers that it is not
just a terrible dream… his vision may never be the same.

Jason Todd Ipson (Director): Born and reared in Salt Lake
City, Jason got his start directing videos for his high school
assemblies. Although his passion for film ran deep, Jason
turned his attention to the sciences, graduating with an Honors
Bachelor of Arts in Biology and then a Doctor of Medicine Degree
from the University of Utah. Not wanting his filmmaking
interests to die, Jason continued to develop ideas for feature
films throughout medical school and residency before leaving his
residency program to attend the Peter Stark Producing Program at
the University of Southern California School of Cinema-TV.
While at USC, he was selected from a competitive list of
applicants to direct the award winning short film script Peeping
Tom, and won the Sloan Scholarship Competition with his sister
(also at USC Cinema-TV) for his short script A Modern Vampire.
Jason graduated in 2001 from USC the top in his class, winning
the prestigious Ferguson Marketing Award for best graduating
thesis. He is currently in pre-production as the director
of A Modern Vampire, as well as completing his fifth screenplay
