Struggling to reconcile two opposing images of his dad, a boy finds himself lost in the unnerving vacuum left behind.
Reiff’s debut short MONSTER, an unnerving tale dealing with a psychiatric disorder and the judgement that comes along with it, premiered at the Glasgow Short Film Festival. It went on to be nominated at the Norwich Film Festival and winning Best Scottish Film at the British Short Film Awards, nominated for an additional 3 including Best British, before being featured by Director’s Notes.
“ A finely-wrought portrait of the loss of innocence, it skirts the obvious in favour of a complicated moral grey area. There are no easy answers here.”
Check out the interview with Redmond Bacon over on Directors Notes.
