Undone
This was an experimental narrative short film that I wrote & directed in my spare time with a handful of friends. The story revolves around a man who's recently seen his best friend die in a horrific accident. He's stuck in a malaise, struggling to get a grasp on reality, unable to clear his head of the horror he's seen.
Shot on the Black Magic Pocket Cinema Camera for next to no money over weekends, I wanted to get a 16mm softness to the film but keep it feeling raw and emotional.
"A man is struggling to maintain his grip on reality whilst coming to terms with his friend’s untimely death."
The film's currently out on the festival circuit and cannot be exhibited publicly, however there is a teaser trailer available below. More information can be found on the film’s website.
