The album above shows the video trailer, promotional and press photographs. Follow the other links to public, press reviews and feedback.

Sugar Drop - Synopsis

Dolls

Dolls is a short film shot on the Red Camera in the summer of 2009. It forms part of a study of digital and analogue filmmaking in relation to narrational concerns of aesthestics and filmic devices.

The film is currently being colour graded and is close to completion, where it will be released on the interenational film festival circuit.

Synopsis:

George and Tabitha are playing potentially sadistic games in the playroom, As the power struggle seesaws, George removes Tabitha from the dolls house and pretends she is his prize toy, but Tabitha has other games in mind.
