my NIGHTMARE (2004)...

Following hot on the heels of “Digital”, this was my second narrative short, and it was a semi-surreal serial killer thriller. In fact it was the last thing I ever filmed on my Hi8 camera (it never worked the same after filming), but it has gone on to become a fond memory of mine – my mates and I out yomping around in the woods chasing each other around, referencing “The Evil Dead”, spraying plenty of fake blood mix about and generally causing havoc. It was shot very much ‘on the hoof’ (the script changed every single weekend) ‘from the hip’ and was a great opportunity to experiment.

Digital (2004)...

This was my first narrative short – the plot was about a lone figure who worked freelance for the government tracking down internet criminals and reporting them to the authorities. It was also a semi-meditation on living in an internet age and extrapolating it a bit – the protagonist being essentially a hermit who survives simply through the internet. This idea would seep back into my work (a script in this case) years later.
