This short was made for the Sci-fi London 48 hour Film challenge. Our team was given the title of the film, a line of dialogue and a prop on Saturday morning and the finished film was submitted 48 hours later.

Our team have done several shorts together over the last few years (including ABE and Rahab) so the director Rob McLellan and Craig Stiff our VFX guru are both used to working around the clock to create incredible CGI worlds in an unreasonably short space of time! We were amazingly lucky with the weather that weekend that there was indeed sunshine in London, and I shot using only available light bar one scene where I used my old trusty 2K Blond! It was a lot of fun and really liberating to work so lightly with a tiny crew and make the film work with the time and resources we had.
