Of Unsound Mind 2015

A short film made by Brent Zillwood and his wife Challis Zillwood under 24 hours exploring mental illness. "In an ideal world, it would not take a film star to get the media focused on mental illness." - Alastair Campbell "I think Hell exists on Earth. It's a psychological state, or it can be a physical state. People who have severe mental illness are in Hell. People who have lost a loved one are in Hell. I think there are all kinds of different hells. It's not a place you go to after you die." -Al Franken
Death Do Us Part A short unnerving film made under 48 hours by Brent Zillwood starring himself and Challis Zillwood. A story of a Widower and his newley wedded Wife, after a fatal accident her presence still hangs around him.

FACELESS AN IMPERFECT CINEMA FILM Faceless is a film created for an imperfect collective movie of short films stitched together by title (taken from the Bullshit Detector records, which comprised of demos from released by Crass). The film will be assembled randomly to make one imperfect piece, hanging by a thread! I was given the word Faceless and the challenge was to create 3 minute film from that one word. So i decided to explore the condition Prosopagnosia. A condition where the ability to recognize faces is impaired.

Witness

Set in a city run by gang violence, this Short film is about Alex who films a killing by a gang of thugs. Days later his video is leaked online and trouble comes knocking for Alex.
I wanted to make a film that was inspired by what I have seen out of my living room window and when a fight broke out early at 5am one morning on my street. I found this a perfect opportunity for me to have an excuse to start getting busy with film making. So this film was made to get the ball rolling practically in my own personal endeavors as a video artist basically.
Starring: Alex Littleboy

This Film is part of my collection of experimental work which uses the processes of improvisation and chance to create the narrative and themes.
