Whilst reengineering the process that originally “saved” her, he’s interrupted and must fight to save the woman he loves, at any cost. 🎬 Director’s Statement: I set out to make something that really challenged my writing and directing, whilst focusing on a genre I love. Even as a six-page short, I strived to give a sense of the world the characters inhabit and how each of them deals with it through their own lens. You could argue that at its core the film is a love story, and intentional or not, my work always has a sense of heart, even when all the characters may be several shades of grey! 🎞️ Credits: Writer/Director - Ed Willey 1st AD - Ian Ifield DoP/Colourist - Will Taylor Poole 1st AC (Office) - Leon Purser 1st AC (Basement) - Lucas Patternott 2nd AC - Nuri Moseinco Gaffer - George Castle Spark - Georgie Fenny Production design - James Early Sound recordist/Sound design - Gerardo Pastor-Ruiz Fight director - Dan Bur
