That Lizard Laden Death Feel – narrative short, 2015, 9’19’’

David is suspicious of an ornate bowl brought home by his partner – what could be hiding underneath it?

That Lizard Laden Death Feel was produced as my MA graduation film at Edinburgh College of Art. My research interests at the time were defining the mid-20th century genre ‘Theatre of the Absurd’ and adapting it to a cinematic form. In this film I’m exploring irrational anxiety, absurdity and liminal spaces – all hallmarks of the theatrical genre.
