Wednesday is as good as any other day to be lonely in Los Angeles...

70-year-old Roger goes about the simplicity of his life amidst the complexity of Los Angeles and throughout it all he photographs his every move. There's a mystery behind these photos that only becomes clear when we see their significance.

Produced and directed by 22-year-old Joel Nassan, an up-and-coming young filmmaker from Biola University, Wednesday is a simple, poigniant film that has resonated with audiences across the country. Nassan brings real heart to the story of Roger's everyday Wednesday and brings Los Angeles to life from a perspective you've likely never seen.

Wednesday was made with a budget of only $500 and crewed entirely by students from Biola University. With youthful smiles and creative solutions the innovative team of filmmakers was able to get free food, location permits and equipment. In October 2006, Wednesday was awarded the Jimmy Stewart Memorial Crystal Heart Award at the Heartland Film Festival.
