Savvy?
'Savvy?' is an experimental English short film that has been made on the lines of a crime fantasy. The basic premise is related to a murder and the film strives to look beyond routine questions (of 'Who?', 'How?', 'Why?' and 'Where?') that are normally associated with it. Savio, a contract killer, is apparently raving about his next kill while preparing himself for the same. But things are not as they seem. Lines get blurred, so do time and space. Exploration of death in its entirety takes centre stage. Savvy?
