An exercise in style and mood that I love dearly. It follows a strange, masked man in the Melbourne CBD one night as he waits for an unknown target – his paranoia increasing by the minute.

Made with very loose constrictions based on my visceral GUT instincts to try and get as much raw emotion out of it as possible.

I’ve reflected at length about this thing, so I’ll try not to repeat myself. What’s important to know is that my goal was to make something completely different to the anything I’d made so far this year (whether it be actual prompt-based assignments or sketch activities). Not only that, but I also wanted to go in a different direction to the one I figured so many students would go on. I wanted to make something that would come off incredibly self-serious and slightly goofy, in a balanced way. Reaches at corny, ham-fisted subtext out the window – purely an indulgence in weird, stylistically heightened, paranoid mood.

It was a confusing and swift filming process, filled with improvisations and on-the-go decisions, followed by a 24-hour window of editing before boom. It was done. Enjoy (or not?).
