This film was produced for the International Youth Silent Film Festival South Australian regional 2014. It was also used for my SACE Stage II Media Studies short film assignment.

NOTE: This version of the film is slightly different to the one submitted to and screened at the IYSFF. It contains an altered, longer credit sequence. The festival version has shorter credits and is 3 minutes in length.

Filmed with a Canon 600D DSLR camera and a Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 lens.
