From the Judges
From the Judges
A comedy thriller set in the world of podcasting and siblings, this short drew admiration for writing that is imaginative and witty and for pacing that keeps its blend of laughs and tension taut. Lighting and camera framing build an unsettling, mysterious mood, and the sound work carries that same charge. The panel found the performances pitched exactly right for the tone, and the distinctly Australian humour struck them as genuinely funny.
