Created in-camera this mixed media animated adventure combines live action, found objects with photo cut-outs that are weaved into a non linear narrative and manipulated into a dark story of romance and psychological tension that unfolds into a cinematic world never seen before.
There's obviously quite a bit of thought, and creative editing, gone into this short feature that celebrates the genre of the film noir by using some original footage, some stop-motion, some photos, posters, toy cars and there's even the odd bit of product placement as the criminals, the detectives and fisticuffs build to quite a thrilling car chase and, of course, a traditional denouement. It doesn't hang about and packs thousands of images, many of them clearly recognisable, into just four minutes that's part homage, part parody and there's Richard Widmark too.
