Bakemono

(2023)

A wealthy, successful man ponders on the smallest detail in a store. But to him, it is everything. Which will suffice? Returning home to prepare for the perfect opportunity that is presented to him, The Man looks to the possibilities of the future whilst concurrently tormented by his isolating past.

Utilising themes of mental health, love, imperfections & grief, this no-dialogue 16mm short film was inspired by the director's lack of relationship with his own father.
