The Chromakey Man
Edinburgh Short Film Festival 2024
•
13m
Dan always wanted to be an actor, but instead of achieving his dreams, he ends up a chromakey technician on movie sets. Covered in a bright green suit from head to toe, he is stuck in a rut until he gets offered an audition and the possibility to step into the limelight. The opportunity is potentially life-changing, and this absolutely terrifies him.
Fabulously staged, no expenses spared drama with an excellently judged comic performance, multi-award winning and also deeply funny.
