An ambitious and poetic experimental horror following two simultaneous stories on a collision course, one through the audio and the other through images.
Five strangers slumber naked and bloodied in an abandoned warehouse, but as the memories of the night before creep back into their consciousness, they awake in horror to realise the full extent of their actions.

The Pack was an experiment to see if I could tell two stories simultaneously: one though images (present moment) and one through audio (the events of the night before). Both stories collide at the end of the film as the memories of what the group have done catch up with the characters. I wanted to take a fairly simple narrative and tell it in a poetic and unusual way.
The Pack is a werewolf film and presently these usually seem preoccupied with expensive transformation scenes: what interested me was the emotional switch from animal to human and the idea that these people might struggle to remember their animal acts or even feel any connection to what drove them a few hours before.
Please get in contact if you would like to see the full (5min 35sec) film.
Hi Owen, this really has me intrigued. Would it be possible to see the whole thing? Also if you're able to could you check out the trailer for my film on my channel? Would appreciate some feedback. Many thanks.

@MrStitchfilms I'll send you a link. Your trailer looks really good, some lovely editing in there. Have you made the film, or is the trailer to get funding?
