Experimantal Shorts
“A white bunny rabbit crawls up and out of a hole at the foot of a large, gnarled tree to find a girl in a black dress whose face appears to resemble that of a young Agnes Moorehead. Sinister clouds pass quickly overhead and wind begins to carry debris past the girl, now covered in chocolate syrup and Cap’n Crunch cereal. The rabbit, now black, turns to the camera, its face suddenly resembling a young Dick York.” If that description just turned you on, then you are going to LOVE this collection of experimental excursions!

The short film Intrusion does not tell a classical story. The main focus lies on the visual design, which has the intention to convey a mood.
The motives and the associative dramatic composition are reminding of dream sequences, nightmares or hallucinations in which the uncanny and the curious are staged; Unrealistic, seemingly disparate, yet interrelated scenes that poke, like an intrusive recurring traumatic experience, into the mind of the powerless spectator.
