The Lure

Tony Hipwell
England, 2024, 2 min.


Includes violence.

Late at night, a lone fisherman discovers he is not the only one hoping to hook something.

Director's Statement

I'd never attempted a short of this length before and the hook for this story provided an irresistible excuse to craft an espresso shot of horror. Keeping to 90 seconds was a challenge but a greatly rewarding one as I rethought all my usual habits to produce something that is as playful as it is deceitful.
