Phantom of the flat
In a five minute film, a young man confronts his inner demons.
Callum Curran's goal is to become a filmmaker, so he took the opportunity in his Communication Design programme to make a start. His project enabled him to delve into each aspect of the production process to develop a short film.
Callum wrote the script, directed filming and undertook the editing to produce the five minute film. The nature of his project meant he incorporated the work of four actors and two composers.
The protagonist's flatmates are concerned for him, but he spurns their attempts to help him. They go off for the weekend without him, leaving him home alone - with those inner demons.
This film went around the festival circuit and had a public release in late 2022.
