FUN CITY
11 minute short film // Arri Alexa // 1.85 : 1 // colour
Sometimes to take a step forward, we have to take a step back.
When a divorced fun-park attendant fails to speak to his young son on his birthday, he takes his frustrations out on a co-worker,
discovering that anger is a limp substitute for a changed perspective.
