A Walking Shadow

'Some auditions you just can't prepare for'

When Rikki attends an audition for Macbeth she couldn't dare to imagine the real reason of the tryout.

Believing she's alone, Rikki climbs onto the stage and begins practising a few lines, but is soon brought to an abrupt halt when the mysterious Sam appears and applauds her efforts.

What follows is an encounter of fantastical proportions that will leave both Rikki and Sam changed and beyond compare.


A short film that will resonate with so many, A Walking Shadow is a dialogue-driven drama that empowers us all to manifest every thought, to express every feeling and to realise every dream.
