SHORT FILM.
UN ARTISTE PRÉTENTIEUX (A PRETENTIOUS ARTIST)
Currently in festival circuits, coming soon* An artist, who can perceive ultra black (a darker shade of black), creates deeply moving art based on the irreducible profundity of his daily, fragmented existence. A satirical examination of humanity’s ability to find meaning almost anywhere.
This film is very close to my heart and has exceeded overseas award expectations. It was self funded, directed and written by myself and Adrian Hooke
*A Pretentious Artist currently has 4 nominations across Europe and the US and won “Best Microshort” in the IndieX circuit.
