Something Horizontal (2015)

Running time: 9:43
Native format: 3D-DCP (2K) / Quicktime MOV (Anaglyph 3D)

Flashes of Victorian domestic surfaces and geometric shadows transform the physical world into a somber, impressionistic abstraction, while elsewhere a spectre emerging from the depths of German Expressionism reminds us that what goes up always comes down.

NOW AVAILABLE TO OWN AS A BONUS FEATURE ON THE 3D BLU-RAY OF PROTOTYPE
