An award winning graphic Aussie short that offers a dialog on needy relationships with virtually no verbal dialog (not safe for work).

One of the rare times special effect technology helps tell a story rather than distract you from it.

A dark tale of obsession and loneliness about a man searching for physical and emotional completeness. It is only when he thinks he has achieved this goal through the unwilling coalescence of his neighbour that he begins to understand the painful, irresolvable nature of his obsession. Winner of the Best Student Live Action Film under 15’ category at the Palm Springs International Festival of Short Films in 2001, the Schools / University Prize at Imagin@ 02 in Monaco 2002, the Distinction for Computer Animation / Visual Effects at Prix Ars Electronica in Linz, Austria 2002, the Audience Award for Best Short Film at the “Short Circuit” Short Film Competition and Best Short Film Director at the Asia-Pacific Film Festival, Seoul, Korea in 2002. Made in 2000.

Combinations of actors shot with blue chroma make-up, heavy inferno mat work and the insertion of 3D geometry using softimage where all used to create the fantastically surreal and macabrely horrifying images in this film.

Director: Peter McDonald
Producer: Priscilla Collins & Rachel Roberts
Production Company: Australian Film Television and Radio School
