Intrusive thoughts come to life in this intriguing short film from director Tom Wakeling. The atmospheric piece features a lone figure in contemplation at a costal spot, haunted by both an oily, inky substance coating his face and hands, and a cone of lights which threaten to engulf him entirely. Is it a meditation on the lack of space to organise one's thoughts in modern life, or making a more primal point about the self-sabotaging nature of humanity's consciousness? The true meaning is left to audience interpretation, allowing those watching to read their own explanation into the fantastical scene. The visuals are all the more impressive considering they were shot entirely in-camera, giving the piece a grounded feel in spite of its ethereal imagery. This is a spellbinding piece of work, and should appeal to those interested in technical film creation along with viewers who have more esoteric thoughts in mind.
