U-Turn (2007) from Prairie Dog Films on Vimeo.
The aim of the film was to create a shock comedy in the style of the Farrelly brothers, Will Ferrell or Ben Stiller. On a technical level I wanted to create an escalating level of horror in the events of the comedy a la the Farrelly brothers film There’s Something about Mary. In doing so I was aware that it would possibly polarise an audience, and in the end it did. However, the film did find an audience, it was winner of best comedy at the Flake international film festival, and official selection at the 2008 Rome International Film Festival, 2008 Big Easy Short Film Festival, 2009 Crossroads Film Festival, 2009 Florida Film Festival and the 2009 Shorts Film Festival.
