On The Run

On The Run is a 2 part short film created by Mike Barkhoff prior to Barking Vans' formation.

Part 1 is the lead up to the events and Part 2 is the finale involving two characters.

Premise
A cop is after a group of robbers who are also after a group of mafia men, leading to an all out war.

Part 1 is about all parties preparing for war while Part 2 concludes the story by having the cop and robber fight in a deathmatch.

Conception
Barkhoff had the idea at a young age and asked his friends to perform roles following Timeline (2013).

Production
Part 1 was filmed in a single day with a script written for a longer project. It was then decided to release it in Parts. Due to the script becoming untouched with zero filming amounting for it, Mike Barkhoff went to Jarrod Van Hauen to help him finish the story.

Trivia
Barkhoff has admitted he was extremely proud of the camera angles accomplished in this Part 1.
