THE SHOT
ABOUT THE FILM
Director, Writer, Editor
The Shot was produced as an entry to the Jessops and MOB Film’s short film competition of the same name. The brief was to create a short film that used the title of The Shot and needed to be max 10 minutes in length.
We decided to focus on ‘the shot’ of chemicals used in the process of euthanasia, imagining an alternative England where euthanasia was legal.
The film was shortlisted in the top 10 out of hundreds of entries and screened at a shortlist in London.
The film was chosen and screened as a finalist as part of Jessops and MOB film’s The Shot competition.
“I was very impressed with Sam's direction of The Shot. Sam has excellent people skills - a calm and focused presence that benefited the whole film. Creatively it was also a strong vision that he and the producer kept with and this is evident in the finished film” - Anita Parry (Actor)
