SCREENING ROOM

🟥 🟧 🟨 🟩 🟦

WHO ARE YOU, IF YOU’RE NOT THE ONLY YOU?

This is the question that guided the production of Mouse-X, a Sci-Fi Thriller grounded in a philosophical exploration of Free Will, when one man wakes to find himself in a room he doesn’t recognise, with a book on his lap that seems to predict his next move.

Mouse-X has screened at festivals around the world and was picked up for worldwide distribution by Shorts International. Mouse-X has since been optioned as a feature film by Electric Panda.

CRITICAL PRAISE FOR MOUSE-X

'One of the best short films I've ever seen '
Matt Glasby - Film Critic, Total Film & GQ

'Very Impressive, like Brazil meets Portal.'
Nev Pierce - Features Writer, Empire Magazine

“An Escher-like conundrum of a film that eats its own tail. Expertly crafted, warranting, (or perhaps demanding) repeat viewings.”
Peter Strickland - Wri/Dir Katalin Varga, In Fabric & Berberian Sound Studio

‘Excellent, intriguing and clever.It combines the best of Kafka and JG Ballard.Reminiscent of Christopher Nolan's Doodlebug’
Jon Towlson - Starburst Magazine

'Justin Tagg’s enigmatic short film Mouse-X will leave viewers puzzling over its cyclical narrative. Destined to be an instant hit.'
