About the film

My good friend and filmmaking partner, Mik Gojic, came to me with an idea to make a one-continuous-shot short film. We started in my shower and began tossing around ideas. As we finished in the middle of the street, 500m from my house, we were exhausted... but satisfied.

I then recruited a band of 14 misfits and began rehearsals. On the day, we only shot two usable takes, as we couldn't lockdown the location and school children began to arrive home. It was a ridiculous endeavour, but we learned one important lesson... you can pop three bottles of champagne in a hire-car and they won't notice.
