I picked "The Man Who Was Afraid of Falling" because I loved the style (and, predictably, the "Making Of" video). And I really love the take-away, which became a bit more relevant over the past few days than I was expecting, yes. (Also, we're fine.)
"Ivor’s life is turned upside down after a falling plant pot sparks a series of paranoid reactions."
Graduation film from Newport Film School. Created in eight months. Shot with a Canon 5D and DragonFrame. Almost everything made from cardboard.
