Director Statement

The short film “Cold Feet” is a short, drama/thriller film about a cold-hearted killer about to take an easy kill on a target when he is interrupted by a not-so cold-hearted killer. The premise of the film is about exploring the interesting dynamic between two completely different killers. It was originally created for a university project as a Chekhov experiment to showcase the technique of subtext by only using six lines of dialogue.

The film is set in a contemporary period, and the production design of the set was utilised to reflect how the character of Oscar is living a miserable life, and to highlight that the killers are taking on a petty bounty. The film was shot by Lachlan Taylor on a BGH1 with a 12mm-60mm Leica lens and edited by Alexander Tatsiy, who both did a great job with their given roles.
