  • The 8 Show - A Game Of Money (short)


    We come from a society that presents money as an important aspect of every day life. From the struggles of paying debt, the lack of opportunities or even disabilities that can get in our way, money can pretty much solve many problems. But at what cost? We watch eight individuals chosen from their lack of money and need of it, to be

    introduced to a game that allows them to get paid every minute. There is a timer for how long they are there and its up to them to entertain the silent and unseen audience in order to ramp up the timer. In a building where everything is fake, where food is given freely, but with strange rules that are absolute, it's a place that lets you buy literally anything. And a place where you can do almost anything to yourself, the environment, and scarily, to each other.

    Death ends the game, but apart from that, what would you do to stay? And how much money is enough?

  • The 8 Show - Experimentation to Dictatorship (short)

    7F comes into the game reading the rules with intention and learning it's directive by small experiments, realising immediately that there are cameras in the room and the expense of even the smallest thing is heightened.

    His direction for the most part is figuring out the game's concept, becoming the voice of reason at the beginning, but then falling into old habits of submitting and compromising for the benefit of a safe spot by the time the higher floors become committed in their own importance.

    From 7F's intentions of a a shared community, others pick it up and create an almost capitalist society, until it becomes a dictatorship wherein, no-one is safe.

  • What If You Met Yourself? (short)

    Alternative realities have been speculated by many people, the curious becoming concerned with our reactions to such drastic differences.

    What if you met yourself? What would you say?

    This idea helped the filmmaker Mark Cahill to create the sci-fi motion picture, 'Another Earth'. Within the film, Mark chose these questions to intertwine with a heartfelt story of an ambitious young student and an accomplished composer crossing paths in a tragic accident.

    This accident would then form a timeline of events that would question the concept of alternative realities, external and internal conflicts, acceptance of oneself, and the beauty of distractions.

  • Doppelgängers (short)

    The idea of the Doppelgänger, particular in the film and literature, is seen as a cosmic occurrence when things are going wrong and nature needs to correct itself. Another self is seen, it is a mirrored image, with one being evil and one being good. Various films such as 'Another Me', and 'Doctor Jekyll and Mister Hyde' present this idea with a more theatrical quality with either nature (secret twins with

    spirits) or science (experiments with potions) being the catalyst behind the fight of good and evil.
