The Rollerskater
The first Beezal Mop to hit the local cinema screen…hang on.
Beezal Mop? Uhhh. Well, it’s just a name - basically created for a series of short skits where we featured a character with the very name. Now we’re using it to frame what these films are.
Not quite a strict short film, not really a trailer. It’s a pre-feature short. Specifically not trying to be too clever or too funny but also grip the audience right before their film for two minutes.
This one careers into the fast line with Molly Jean - a rollerskating surgeon just trying to get her caffeine hit in time for surgery.
Screening before most evening features at Geelong’s finest Arthouse cinema, The Pivotonian, the Rollerskater is one of my most proud projects to date.
