Brunch

  • Jacques Cilliers

"BRUNCH" is a short film I worked on. It was screened in Seattle at as part of NFFTY (the National Film Festival for Talented Youth) and in Johannesburg, Potchefstroom and New York as part of the New York City PictureStart Awards. Here's a short synopsis, written by the director Vaughan Coetzee: "Emily and Philip are in a dysfunctional relationship. Philip struggles to stand up for himself because of Emily’s manipulative hold over him. One morning while enjoying his brunch Philip constructs a clever plan, which involves as much helium as courage, to dissociate himself from her." I was the art director and the lead actor. I also worked on the development of the soundtrack.
