The Moderate Gatsby

The Moderate Gatsby is a comedy short that parodies the novel The Great Gatsby, created by Mike Barkhoff and Jarrod Van Hauen in their Junior Year of High School.

Though they thought it was funny, they went over the edge and gained after school detention. This was Barkhoff's first project following his first hiatus.

Filming
The filming was done over the course of a week. Barkhoff enlisted help from his cousin for a role. In the trailer, a broom appears as Daisy when hit by a car. The broom would later appear as an easter egg in Candlelight.
