James W. Griffiths: Room 8

Room 8 / 1 of 5 Films / Bombay Sapphire Imagination Series from Bombay Sapphire on Vimeo.

My favorite of the five films selected as part of the Imagination Series 2012 contest. The Imagination Series is a film contest sponsored by the gin company Bombay Sapphire. Participants used a short script written by Geoffrey Fletcher (the movie Precious) from which to create their screenplay around. The five best pitched screenplays were then selected and provided funding to create their films. After watching the films I gather the script was something along the lines of this:

Person 1: "What's that?"
Person 2: "Nothing."
Person 2: "Stop."
Person 1: "Why?"
Person 2: "Don't open it."
Person 1: "Why not?"
Person 2: "Because you might regret it."
Person 1: "I'll take my chances."
Person 2: "Fine, go ahead and open it."

Here are the other four films:
